It is.

I think you need to update configure.in.

Do you patch against 2.4.x or trunk (2.5.x)?
With 2.5.x you most likely want to provide an event handler. See e.g.
src/event_log.c as example (it just logs the event so it's close to what
you want I think).

Also please feel free to send me your updates if you like to get some
comments. :)


Have a nice day!
