New description:

 tor-gencert is linked against libevent and libpthread tho it probably
 doesn't need those.
 Since tor-gencert is quite a file that you might want to transfer to a
 computer that
 doesn't have libevent it would be nice if it could not be linked against
 that library.

 Unless of course it needs libevent.

Comment:

 The solution here is to split off the threading functions into a libor-
 threads.a, just like libor.a and libor-crypto.a and libor-event.a are
 currently split.   If somebody wanted to, they could also split libor-
 crypto.a into libor-ssl.a and libor-crypto.a.

 Should be easy enough to do.
