             How To Build libcurl to use ares for asynch name resolves
             =========================================================

Mac OS X quirk (config.guess and config.sub)
Mac OS X quirk:
  ares 1.1.1 contains too old versions of config.guess and config.sub. Copy
  the ones from the curl source tree in to the ares source tree before you
  run configure.

Build ares
==========

1. ./configure
2. make

Build
=====

If you update curl from CVS, and put 'ares' in a subdirectory in the curl
root, you should be able to build libcurl to use ares for asynch name
resolves! Just make sure you:

1. run ./buildconf
2. run './configure --enable-ares'
3. run 'make'
1. Move the ares source/build tree to subdirectory in the curl root named
   'ares'.
2. ./buildconf
3. ./configure --enable-ares
4. make

If the configure script autodetects IPv6 support, you need to explicitly
disable that since ares isn't IPv6 compatible (yet).
If the configure script detects IPv6 support), you need to explicitly disable
that (--disable-ipv6) since ares isn't IPv6 compatible (yet).

Please let me know how it builds, runs, works or whatever. I had to do some
fairly big changes in some code parts to get this to work.
