NOTE
- libcurl works with ares 1.1.1, but several patches and improvements have

+ Once upon the time libcurl built fine with the "original" ares. That is no
+ longer true. You need to use c-ares. c-ares is based on ares but improved.

+First I compiled c-ares. I changed the default C runtime library to be the
single-threaded rather than the multi-threaded (this seems to be required to
prevent linking errors later on). Then I simply build the areslib project (the
other projects adig/ahost seem to fail under MSVC).
