ASIO can be used standalone with any C++11 compiler and the compile times are quite good.
If I should make a guess then I'd say that the original author of that part of the library either started before ASIO was standalone and/or simply has a hatred for boost (which would be unwarranted), or he/she was simply more experienced with libevent...
IMHO it's quite sad that they didn't use ASIO though as it's far more extensive.
