weirdo hack to fix debian bug report 278691:

                                  Changelog

Daniel (8 November 2004)

- Ian Gulliver reported in debian bug report #278691: if curl is invoked in an

  environment where stderr is closed the -v output will still be sent to file

  descriptor 2 which then might be the network socket handle! Now we have a

  weird hack instead that attempts to make sure that file descriptor 2 is

  opened (with a call to pipe()) before libcurl is called to do the transfer.

  configure now checks for pipe() and systems without pipe don't get the weird

  hack done.

- Tim Sneddon made libcurl send no more than 64K in a single first chunk when

  doing a huge POST on VMS, as this is a system limitation. Default on general
