Is there another reason to use libevent than simply the fact that an nghttp2 
example uses it?

As current wget isn't libevent based, it seems like a pretty major redesign to 
change it to use libevent only for the purpose of adding HTTP/2.

I'm glad to see this project come to life, and I'm happy to see you chosing to 
base it on Tatsuhiro's awesome nghttp2 library. We do this in the curl project 
too.
