Description
My application which is using this library, but IS NOT using libxev at all, is pulling it nevertheless and trying to build and cache on disk.
It is bad because of polluting and using disk unnecessary and your library cannot be updated to newest zig, without updating the libxev too.

Research direction
Start by locating the Zig package dependency declaration and build entry point that pull in libxev. Check how an application that does not use libxev resolves and builds dependencies, then verify that unused applications no longer fetch or cache it while libxev-using configurations still work.
