finds out its return type and the types of its arguments. Added definitions
for non-configure systems config files, and introduced macro sreadfrom which
will be used on udp sockets as a recvfrom() wrapper.

Configure process no longer needs nor checks size of curl_off_t.
Library will now be built with _REENTRANT symbol defined.

  the target host has only A records, it automatically falls back to an
  AF_INET lookup and gives you the A results.  However, if the target host has
  a CNAME record, this behaviour is defeated since the original query does
  return some data even though ares_parse_aaa_reply() doesn't consider it
  relevant. Here's a small patch to make it behave the same with and without
  the CNAME.

  not posix or anything and thus c-ares failed to build on hurd (and possibly
  elsewhere). The define was also somewhat artificially used in the windows
  port. Now, I instead rewrote the use of gethostbyname to enlarge the host
  name buffer in case of need and totally avoid the use of the MAXHOSTNAMELEN
  define. I thus also removed the defien from the namser.h file where it was
  once added for the windows build.

  I also fixed init_by_defaults() function to not leak memory in case if
  error.

some systems" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1999181). The problem was
that the configure script did not use the _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK feature test
macro when checking monotonic clock availability. This is now fixed and the
monotonic clock will not be used unless the feature test macro is defined
with a value greater than zero indicating always supported.

enough at detecting compilation errors or at least it has been properly
configured to do so. Configuration heavily depends on this capability, so
if this compiler sanity check fails the configuration process will now fail.

AC_FOO_IFELSE macros, otherwise temp files are not removed.

Identation adjustment.
