CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer"
handshake/connection is completed (typically SSL, TLS or SSH). By using this
you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You can extract
the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named
'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.

  operating system.

in regard to C standard, third party libraries and operating systems etc.

  All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions,
  now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple
  times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need
  to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable
  verbose mode you use --no-verbose!

- Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all
  given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that
  for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o -
  or --no-remote-name.

  curl_easy_getinfo. It returns a pointer to a string with the most recently
  used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The
  implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.

This also implies the removal of the winmm.lib dependency for WIN32.

  redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now
  introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications
  extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This
  then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is
  suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL
  from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.
