Here are a few things I flagged, mostly cosmetic.

1. I couldn't find the git repository from the web site.

2. We would prefer not to see camel-case in the type names, as some of
them will appear in our function signatures.

3. We would prefer typedefs for the types in order to reduce the amount
of horizontal space it takes to add an event context to a function
signature.  I have a personal preference for typedeffing the pointer
type for abstract types, so that to the caller it doesn't look like a
dereferenceable object.

4. The documentation of verto_new(NULL) exposes more of the
implementation than I think is really wise; in particular, promising to
try to figure out what event libraries you're linked to seems
over-generous.

When (1) is addressed, I will test the build on Solaris 10.
