+# NOTE
+
+libevent upstream explicitly disables 'libevent_pthreads' when building
+for Windows.
+
+This repository exists for the sole purpose of building pthreads-enabled
+libevent with mingw-w64.
+
+Original README moved to `README_libevent.md`.
+
+# Build Instructions
+
+## NOTE
+
+This build only covers what saldl needs. Shared libraries are disabled.
+OpenSSL support is disabled. mingw-w64 is the only dependency.
