- Peter Sylvester made a debug featuer for Curl_resolv() that now will force 

  libcurl to resolve 'localhost' whatever name you use in the URL *if* you set
  the --interface option to (exactly) "LocalHost". This will enable us to
  write tests for custom hosts names but still use a local host server.

- configure now tries to use pkg-config for a number of sub-dependencies even

  when cross-compiling. The key to success is then you properly setup

  PKG_CONFIG_PATH before invoking configure.
