To be addressed before 7.19.0 (planned release: August 2008)
=============================
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-07/0120.html Patch (first version) of
64-bit curl_off_t no longer gated to off_t was sent to the mailing list
2008-07-14. After all the changes done afterwards in CVS its sure it
doesn't apply clean as is. A second version patch has to be generated.
This second patch version should also address the problem the first one
has of not working when building outside of the source tree.
#148 blocks this.

145 - Phil Blundell's CURLOPT_SCOPE patch/work
146 - Yehoshua Hershberg's re-using of connections that failed with
CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION
147 - PHP's bug report #43158 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43158) identifies
a true bug in libcurl built with OpenSSL.
148 - Introduction of m4/reentrant.m4 is triggering some problems on Solaris
systems. The problem manifests when buildconf runs aclocal, at some point
aclocal fails when using GNU m4 version 1.4.5 it runs out of memory. If
GNU m4 version 1.4.11 is used everything works. Lots of tests have been
done which have allowed to discard many possible pitfalls on our side.
As of right now my main suspect is which 'sed' binary is being used by
aclocal, if it is a broken sed, aclocal might be feeding garbage to m4.
As a consecuence of al this tries and tests the inclusion method of
m4/reentrant.m4 has been changed several times, and should finally be
changed back to the proper '-I m4' method which was used initially and
that didn't fail on other systems.

UPDATE:
* sed cannot be the culprit aclocal and autom4te are perl scripts and
don't use 'sed'.
* autom4te matches autoconf version and aclocal matches automake's.
* Even when directly copying into acinclude.m4 the contents of file
reentrant.m4 and having the '-I m4' thing disabled the problem
persists.
* Reinstated the 'aclocal -I m4' in buildconf and 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS =
-I m4' way of including our local m4/reentrant.m4 file. This even
takes care of including the file in the distribution tarball.
149 - The introduction of the sreadfrom macro has proven usefull on all systems
except on HP-UX. For this release I will back out its use in lib/tftp.c
and test/server/tftpd.c leaving it in the same functional state as it was.
The rest of things will be kept in as thay are needed to properly fix it
in another release (autoconf work required).
