reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual
problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code.

and while doing so it became apparent that the current timeout system for
the socket API really was a bit awkward since it become quite some work to
be sure we have the correct timeout set.

Jeff then provided the new CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION that is yet another
callback the app can set to get to know when the general timeout time
changes and thus for an application like hiperfifo.c it makes everything a
lot easier and nicer. There's a CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA option too of course in
good old libcurl tradition.

  handle that is part of a multi handle first removes the handle from the
  stack.

- Added CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE and --no-sessionid to disable SSL
  session-ID re-use on demand since there obviously are broken servers out
  there that misbehave with session-IDs used.

cache within the multi handle.

allow applications to set their own socket options.

both now provide the number of running handles back to the calling function.

set a private pointer added to the internal libcurl hash table for the
particular socket passed in to this function.

tool option named --ftp-alternative-to-user. It provides a mean to send a
particular command if the normal USER/PASS approach fails.

Prevent definition of HAVE_WINxxx_H symbols and avoid inclusion of Windows headers when compiled with Cygwin in POSIX emulation mode.

(serialise) a previously built formpost (as with curl_formadd()).

CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE that limit tha maximum rate libcurl is allowed
to send or receive data. This kind of adds the the command line tool's
option --limit-rate to the library.

The rate limiting logic in the curl app is now removed and is instead
provided by libcurl itself. Transfer rate limiting will now also work for -d
and -F, which it didn't before.

-fvisibility=hidden on gcc >= 4.0.  This reduces the size of the libcurl
binary and speeds up dynamic linking by hiding all the internal symbols from
the symbol table.

to allow/support character conversions

if any use of such a function slip through

an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract
the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any transfer at
all after the connect is done.

curl tool with --local-port. Plain and simply set the range of ports to bind
the local end of connections to. Implemented on to popular demand.

Not extensively tested. Please let me know how it works.

Modified the callback proto used for it.
