CURLOPT_NOPROXY to "*", or to a host that should not use a proxy, I actually
  could still end up using a proxy if a proxy environment variable was set.

  something beyond ascii but currently libcurl will only pass in the verbatim
  string the app provides. There are several browsers that already do this
  encoding. The key seems to be the updated draft to RFC2231:
  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-reschke-rfc2231-in-http-02

can't seem to catch up

243 - ftp QUOTE commands that are allowed to fail but not close the connection
is done

  CURLOPT_PREQUOTE) now accept a preceeding asterisk before the command to
  send when using FTP, as a sign that libcurl shall simply ignore the response
  from the server instead of treating it as an error. Not treating a 400+ FTP
  response code as an error means that failed commands will not abort the
  chain of commands, nor will they cause the connection to get disconnected.

"you replaced the old SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms() call
with OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms(), however unlike the name suggests,
the second function is not a superset of the first. When using SSL
both these functions will need to be called in order to offer complete
functionality"

  out that OpenSSL-powered libcurl didn't support the SHA-2 digest algorithm,
  and provided the solution too: to use OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() instead
  of the older SSLeay_* alternative. OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms was added in
  OpenSSL 0.9.5

independent of libssh2 version as the client code isn't really meant to adapt
to such build-time constraints.

Committed now. Not yet thoroughly degbugged etc, but at least the funtionality
is now present.

  They introduce known_host support for SSH keys to libcurl. See docs for
  details.

  (https://bugzilla.novell.com/523919). When looking at the code, I found
  that also the ptr pointer can leak.

  in NSS-powered libcurl. Now the client certificates can be selected
  automatically by a NSS built-in hook. Additionally pre-login to all PKCS11
  slots is no more performed. It used to cause problems with HW tokens.

- Fixed reference counting for NSS client certificates. Now the PEM reader
  module should be always properly unloaded on Curl_nss_cleanup(). If the unload
  fails though, libcurl will try to reuse the already loaded instance.

in the Watcom makefiles aren't quite correct).

BUG: curl did not build with cmake with VS 2005 for two reasons, ws2tcpip.h requires winsock2.h to be included before it with that compiler, and wldap32 is not available with the default install of the compiler, so disable ldap support if that is not found

  errno is not reset on success.

renamed generated config.h to curl_config.h in order to avoid clashes when libcurl is used with other projects which also have a config.h (missing bits)

updated openssl version to latest; removed obsolete link to openssl patch since its now in the openssl releases.
