CURL_FUNC_GETNAMEINFO_ARGTYPES now also checks first argument.
All related changes taken to cares configuration scripts.

ifdefs where . was used instead of _!

macros accordingly.

way of detecting it

Added constants that will be used by ares_getaddrinfo. Made ares_getnameinfo use the reentrant getservbyport (getservbyport_r) if it isavailable to ensure it works properly in a threaded environment

inventing and providing our own. Hopefully this solves a HP-UX 11.00 problem.

  Make UDP sockets non-blocking. I've confirmed that at least on Linux 2.4 a
  read event can come back from poll() on a valid SOCK_DGRAM socket but
  recv(2) will still block. This patch doesn't ignore EAGAIN in
  read_udp_packets(), though maybe it should. (This patch was edited by Daniel
  Stenberg and a new configure test was added (imported from curl's configure)
  to properly detect what non-blocking socket approach to use.)

on Solaris and FreeBSD. At least.

include, as it seems at least some AIX versions don't really allow it to be
include at the same time as the original nameser.h.

(IRIX 6.5.22 it seems)

Provided implementations of inet_net_pton and inet_pton from BIND for systems that do not include these functions. These will be necessary for CIDR support and IPv6 support.

exist.

first little steps towards IPv6 support!

get problems

  check for ssize_t to make it possible to use that when receiving the send()
  error code. This is necessary to prevent compiler warnings on some systems.

- Made configure create config.h, and all source files now include setup.h that
  might include the proper config.h (or a handicrafted alternative).

- Switched to 'ares_socket_t' type for sockets in ares, since Windows don't
  use 'int' for that.

- automake-ified and libool-ified c-ares. Now it builds libcares as a shared
  lib on most platforms if wanted. (This bloated the size of the release
  archive with another 200K!)

- Makefile.am now uses Makefile.inc for the c sources, h headers and man
  pages, to make it easier for other makefiles to use the exact same set of
  files.

- Adjusted 'maketgz' to use the new automake magic when building distribution
  archives.

configure stuff

figure it out here anymore to build debug builds.

When using it, we now set the include path to better find the devel curl
headers, and we check for the socklen_t type since the curl memdebug stuff
needs it.

support --enable-debug to switch on picky compiler options
