 ABOUT THIS DISTRIBUTION
 
-   If you downloaded a distribution of libev, you will find it looks
-   very much like libevent. In fact, the distributed libev tarballs are
-   indeed libevent tarballs patched up with the libev event core, taking
-   the evbuffer, evtag, evdns and evhttpd parts from libevent (they use
-   the libevent emulation inside libev). Configure and Makefile stuff is
-   also a more or less direct copy of libevent, and are maintained by the
-   libevent authors.

+   If you downloaded the libev distribution (without libevent), then
+   you only get the core parts of the library, meaning http and dns
+   client/server code and similar things are missing. Only the core event
+   loop is included.
 
    If you are looking for an easily embeddable version, I recommend using
-   the CVS repository (linked from the homepage, above), which contains
-   only the libev core parts.
+   the libev standalone distribution or the CVS repository.
 
    Examples of programs that embed libev: the EV perl module,
