http://curl.haxx.se/dev/ares-1.1.1.tar.gz
+ http://curl.sourceforge.net/dev/ares-1.1.1.tar.gz

+ c-ares, a patched and improved version of ares:
+ http://curl.haxx.se/beta/arescurl-1.0-pre1.tar.gz
-Mac OS X quirk:
- ares 1.1.1 contains too old versions of config.guess and config.sub. Copy
- the ones from the curl source tree in to the ares source tree before you
- run configure.
+NOTE
+ libcurl works with ares 1.1.1, but several patches and improvements have
+ been put into the c-ares package which has made it more portable and better
+ working on several platforms.
Build ares
==========
-1. unpack the ares-1.1.1 archive
-2. cd ares-src
-3. patch -p0 < ares-curl-patch
-4. ./configure
-5. make

Build libcurl to use ares

+If the configure script enables IPv6 support you need to explicitly disable
that (--disable-ipv6) 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.
