Comment (by nickm):

 {{{
 +   if test "x$tor_cv_library_openssl_dir" = "(system)"; then
 }}}

 This line (and its libevent equivalent) either needs one more `x` on the
 right, or one less `x` on the left.

 {{{
 +     TOR_LIBEVENT_LIBS="$TOR_LIBDIR_libevent/.libs/libevent.a
 $STATIC_LIBEVENT_FLAGS"
 }}}

 I think this change only makes sense if libevent hasn't been installed?
 Once a libtool library is installed, the `.a` file is put into place.

 I wouldn't object to a change where we look for a `.libs` additionally,
 but I don't think it should be instead.
