+Find the Libev library.
+
+Imported targets
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This module defines the following :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` targets:
+
+``Libev::Libev``
+  The Libev library, if found.
+
+Result variables
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This module will set the following variables in your project:
+
+``Libev_FOUND``
+  If false, do not try to use Libev.
+``LIBEV_INCLUDE_DIR``
+  where to find check.h, etc.
+``LIBEV_LIBRARIES``
+  the libraries needed to use Libev.
+``LIBEV_VERSION``
+  the version of the Libev library found
+
