dynamic and static c-ares libraries in debug and release flavours.

Additionally each of the three sample programs is built against
each of the four possible c-ares libraries, generating all this
a total number of 12 executables and 4 libraries.

MUST be valid and they are dereferenced further down in the function

for Win32 and Symbian unless CARES_STATICLIB is defined to use static
library linkage.

false positive on a leaked socket, so this introduces a way to tell the system
that the socket is indeed closed without explicitly closing it!

based on the 'visibility' attribute for GNUC and __global for Sun
compilers, taking also in account __declspec function decoration
for Win32 and Symbian DLL's.

Introducing configure options --enable-hidden-symbols and
--disable-hidden-symbols following libcurl's naming.

  unparsable expiry dates and then treat them as session cookies - previously
  libcurl would reject cookies with a date format it couldn't parse. Research
  shows that the major browser treat such cookies as session cookies. I
  modified test 8 and 31 to verify this.

ARES_ECANCELLED error code value and missing error code description.

  by user 'koresh' introduced the --crlfile option to curl, which makes curl
  tell libcurl about a file with CRL (certificate revocation list) data to
  read.

fail to build when this happens, and show an appropriate error.

The brave of heart can circumvect this. Defining ALLOW_MSVC6_WITHOUT_PSDK
in lib/config-win32.h, although absolutely discouraged and unsupported,
this will allow the die hard MSVC hacker to build in such a discouraged
environment.

The actually supported 'fix' is to install 'February 2003 Platform SDK'
a.k.a. 'Windows Server 2003 PSDK' which can be freely downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm

is only expanded and included once in the configure script.

due to autoconf 2.64 m4_require'ing it in _AS_SHELL_SANITIZE indirectly through
_AS_PATH_WALK.

  that now makes curl_getdate(3) actually handles RFC 822 formatted dates that
  use the "single letter military timezones".
