Adam Light posted this patch to the list which enables builds from
git with VC versions other than vc6; also he added a vc10 target.

Add a timeout check for handles in the state machine so that they will
timeout in all states disregarding what actions that may or may not
happen.

Fixed a bug in socket_action introduced recently when looping over timed
out handles: it wouldn't assign the 'data' variable and thus it wouldn't
properly take care of handles.

In the update_timer function, the code now checks if the timeout has
been removed and then it tells the application. Previously it would
always let the remaining timeout(s) just linger to expire later on.

Curl_expire() set to 0 expires ALL timeouts so it should only be called
if we truly and really want to remove all timeouts for the handle.

Make use of the helper function Curl_timeleft() instead of duplicating
code.

Each easy handle has a list of timeouts, so as soon as the main timeout
for a handle expires, we must make sure to get the next entry from the
list and re-add the handle to the splay tree.

This was attempted previously but was done poorly in my commit
232ad654.

When a new transfer is about to start we now set the proper timeouts to
expire for the multi interface if they are set for the handle. This is a
follow-up bugfix to make sure that easy handles timeout properly when
the times expire and the multi interface is used. This also improves
curl_multi_timeout().

'm4 version  found. You need a GNU m4 installed!' is a bit confusing.

Fixed some issues that caused xmllint failures, added features
and keywords, fixed some quotes and removed some <strip> sections
that unnecessarily limited test checking.

As the VC and RISCOS makefiles don't use the .inc file

Introduced in the initial gopher commits, there was added logic to do
GOPHER test serving in the pingpong server but as it resembles HTTP much
more than FTP or SMTP, the gopher testing has been moved over to instead
use the sws (HTTP) server. This change simply removes unused code.

Patches over email very easily lose CRLF line endings in files otherwise
LF-only so I had to put them back where needed.

The fix for the busyloop really only is a temporary work-around.  It
causes a BLOCKING behavior which is a NO-NO. This function should rather
be split up in a do and a doing piece where the pieces that aren't
possible to send now will be sent in the doing function repeatedly until
the entire request is sent.

HTTP allows that a server sends trailing headers after all the chunks
have been sent WITHOUT signalling their presence in the first response
headers. The "Trailer:" header is only a SHOULD there and as we need to
handle the situation even without that header I made libcurl ignore
Trailer: completely.

Test case 1116 was added to verify this and to make sure we handle more
than one trailer header properly.

Since NTLM was made to work with the NSS API as well, the primary SSL
alternatives will be built with NTLM support in libcurl.

It is really fast now

It was introduced in commit eeb2cb05 along with the -F type=
change. Also fixed a typo in the name of the magic filename=
parameter. Tweaked tests 39 and 173 to better test this path.

The numerical value passed to CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM for FTP uploads is
interpreted and used as position where to resume the _reading_ of the
local file and it will "blindly" append that data on the remote
file. This was certainly not clear in the docs previously.

The correctly extracted errno contents were mistakenly overwritten by a newer
value that wasn't the correct error value.

The -F option allows some custom parameters within the given string, and
those strings are separated with semicolons. You can for example specify
"name=daniel;type=text/plain" to set content-type for the
field. However, the use of semicolons like that made it not work fine if
you specified one within the content-type, like for:
"name=daniel;type=text/plain;charset=UTF-8"
... as the second one would be seen as a separator and "charset" is no
parameter curl knows anything about so it was just silently discarded.

The new logic now checks if the semicolon and following keyword looks
like a parameter it knows about and if it isn't it is assumed to be
meant to be used within the content-type string itself.

I modified test case 186 to verify that this works as intended.
