Agreed, I will most likely end up reusing code instead of libevent, at the
time of the proposal I didn't think the changes would be so big. I was just
concerned of some blocking code in wget when reading form the socket
(namely select(2)). But it would be silly to throw away so much code.

I blame Giuseppe for suggesting it :-), and nghttp2 looks really good,
can't wait to dive into it this summer! What challenges did you face when
implementing HTTP/2 in curl? I would love to hear about that.
