pkg-config first before the "normal" one (if cross-compiling)

going on

in normal tests and is annoying

  libcurl to resolve 'localhost' whatever name you use in the URL *if* you set
  the --interface option to (exactly) "LocalHost". This will enable us to
  write tests for custom hosts names but still use a local host server.

test script

  when cross-compiling. The key to success is then you properly setup
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH before invoking configure.

  I also improved how NSS is detected by trying nss-config if pkg-config isn't
  present, and as a last resort just use the lib name and force the user to
  setup the LIBS/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS etc properly. The previous last resort would
  add a range of various libs that would almost never be quite correct.

  sends the 220 response or otherwise is dead slow, libcurl will not
  acknowledge the connection timeout during that phase but only the "real"
  timeout - which may surprise users as it is probably considered to be the
  connect phase to most people. Brought up (and is being misunderstood) in:
  http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2844077

  QUOTE commands and the request used the same path as the connection had
  already changed to, it would decide that no commands would be necessary for
  the "DO" action and that was not handled properly but libcurl would instead
  hang.

it breaks almost all autobuilds.

Support lookup of IPv4 literals in ares_gethostbyname(), even when the address family is set to AF_INET6.

- Introduced a SYST-based test to properly set-up name format when dealing  with the OS/400 FTP server.
- Fixed an ftp_readresp() bug preventing detection of failing control socket  and causing FTP client to loop forever.

  properly and provided a fix. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2843008

  read stdin in a non-blocking fashion. This also brings back -T- (minus) to
  the previous blocking behavior since it could break stuff for people at
  times.

ftp://example.com;type=i if the user specified ftp://example.com without the
slash.

  strdup() that could lead to segfault if it returned NULL. I extended his
  suggest patch to now have Curl_retry_request() return a regular return code
  and better check that.

  Fix SIGSEGV on free'd easy_conn when pipe unexpectedly breaks
  Fix data corruption issue with re-connected transfers
  Fix use after free if we're completed but easy_conn not NULL

5.4 Rearrange request header order

Things to play with when you're bored

certificate tests only run on a localhost-hosted test server since the
host name is explicitly checked.

than what's absolutely necessary:

curl will do its best to use what you pass to it as a URL. It is not trying to
validate it as a syntactically correct URL by any means but is instead
VERY liberal with what it accepts.
