             How To Build libcurl to use ares for asynch name resolves
             =========================================================

ares:
  ftp://athena-dist.mit.edu/pub/ATHENA/ares/ares-1.1.1.tar.gz
  http://curl.haxx.se/dev/ares-1.1.1.tar.gz
  
ares patch:
  http://curl.haxx.se/dev/ares-curl2.diff

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.

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
=========================

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 detects 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.
