[Libevent-users] Small patch for grabbing underlying event_base from an evhttp_request

[Mark Ellzey]

Greetings,

Attached is a small patch which allows a user to grab the underlying
event_base from an evhttp_request. I have patched this against the 
current master on github.

If there is a better way to do this, I am open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance!
