How To Build libcurl to use ares for asynch name resolves

=====
-If you update curl from CVS, and put 'ares' in a subdirectory in the curl
-root, you should be able to build libcurl to use ares for asynch name
-resolves! Just make sure you:
-
-1. run ./buildconf
-2. run './configure --enable-ares'
-3. run 'make'
+1. Move the ares source/build tree to subdirectory in the curl root named
+ 'ares'.
+2. ./buildconf
+3. ./configure --enable-ares
+4. make
-If the configure script autodetects IPv6 support, you need to explicitly
-disable that since ares isn't IPv6 compatible (yet).

Please let me know how it builds, runs, works or whatever. I had to do some
fairly big changes in some code parts to get this to work.
