Added CURLOPT_LOCALPORT and CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE to libcurl. Set with the
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.

.SH SYNOPSIS
@@ -335,6 +335,19 @@ don't want this tunneling option.
Pass a char * as parameter. This set the interface name to use as outgoing
network interface. The name can be an interface name, an IP address or a host
name.
+.IP CURLOPT_LOCALPORT
+Pass a long. This sets the local port number of the socket used for
+connection. This can be used in combination with \fICURLOPT_INTERFACE\fP and
+you are recommended to use \fICURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE\fP as well when this is
+set. Note that port numbers are only valid 1 - 65535. (Added in 7.15.2)
+.IP CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE
+Pass a long. This is the number of attempts libcurl should do to find a
+working local port number. It starts with the given \fICURLOPT_LOCALPORT\fP
+and adds one to the number for each retry. Setting this value to 1 or below
+will make libcurl do only one try for exact port number. Note that port
+numbers by nature is a scarce resource that will be busy at times so setting
+this value to something too low might cause unnecessary connection setup
+failures. (Added in 7.15.2)
.IP CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT
Pass a long, this sets the timeout in seconds. Name resolves will be kept in
memory for this number of seconds. Set to zero (0) to completely disable
