Curl_strerror() that attempts to be thread-safe _and_ works on Windows too!

defines are in setup.h.

because it is now possible to have both WIN32 and HAVE_CONFIG_H defined.

SO_BINDTODEVICE is present, to prevent compiler warnings about the variable

platforms as well.

2. now reads the socket error before check connect status, also to make us

warnings. Minor edits by me.

it compiler better on amigaos

I guess it seldomly happens on linux and that's why it wasn't found before.
He used Solaris to notice it.

I took the opportunity to rewrite the Curl_connecthost() slightly to feature
less duplicate code in the two different versions (ipv4/ipv6).

hogs Windows machines when libcurl is being used multi-threaded (with > ~50
threads). Andrew Fuller helped us verify and test this.

According to a MSDN web page on connect(), it returns 0 when the connect
is done and thus we don't need the getsockopt() call anyway on Windows.

  addresses, if one of them fails (ipv4-code).

build libcurl to use ares for asynch name resolves.

the define accordingly in the hostip.h header to work nicely all over.

name isn't an ip address

in the Curl_is_connected() function.

even better (also based on input from Martin).
