non-bitcoind (GUI, tests, etc) should not require libevent to build

Agree. This should work. But when building the GUI without libevent, it should disable the -server option.

We are going to use libevent for the P2P code too, so the scope for this is very small.

Potentially the (unit) tests and bitcoin-tx could be compiled without it, but it seems not worth the trouble of complicating the build system.
