When transferring 500 downloads in parallel with a c-ares enabled build only
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in use.

NOTE
- The latest libcurl version requires c-ares 1.3.2 or later to work
- flawlessly.
+ The latest libcurl version requires c-ares 1.4.0 or later.
Once upon the time libcurl built fine with the "original" ares. That is no
longer true. You need to use c-ares.
