Instead of reopening the downloaded file, fsetxattr uses the (already
open) file descriptor to attach extended attributes. This makes the
procedure more robust against errors caused by moved or deleted files.
CURLOPT_RESOLVE is a new option that sends along a curl_slist with
name:port:address sets that will populate the DNS cache with entries so
that request can be "fooled" to use another host than what otherwise
would've been used. Previously we've encouraged the use of Host: for
that when dealing with HTTP, but this new feature has the added bonus
that it allows the name from the URL to be used for TLS SNI and server
certificate name checks as well.
This is a first change. Surely more will follow to make it decent.
setxattr is a glibc call to set extended attributes, so configure now
checks for it and the code is adapted to only build when the
functionality is present.
It is often convinient to track back the source of a once downloaded
file; this patch makes curl store the source URL and other metadata
alongside the retrieved file by using the extended attributes (if
supported by the file system and enabled by --xattr).
These haven't worked in at least 8 years due to missing source
files, and most active RiscOS developers these days apparently
cross-compile anyway.

Some options, such as the automatic decompression and some SSL related
ones now will bail out if the underlying libcurl doesn't have support
for the particular feature needed.
If the filename contains a backslash, only use filename portion. The
idea is that even systems that don't handle backslashes as path
separators probably want that path removed for convenience.
This flaw is considered a security problem, see the curl security
vulnerability http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20101013.html
Having an open brace without a closing brace caused a segfault.
Having a closing brace too many caused a silent error to occur, which
caused curl to bail out and return an error code but no error message
was shown. It does now!
All error message outputs no longer wrongly get _two_ newlines written
after the error message.

Renamed SDK_* to NDK_*; made NDK_* defines overwriteable from
environment; removed now obsolete YACC macro;
moved some curl_config.h defines to IPv6 section since they
are only needed when IPv6 is enabled - this makes libcurl compile
with older NDKs too which were not IPv6-aware.
It was introduced in commit eeb2cb05 along with the -F type=
change. Also fixed a typo in the name of the magic filename=
parameter. Tweaked tests 39 and 173 to better test this path.
The -F option allows some custom parameters within the given string, and
those strings are separated with semicolons. You can for example specify
"name=daniel;type=text/plain" to set content-type for the
field. However, the use of semicolons like that made it not work fine if
you specified one within the content-type, like for:
"name=daniel;type=text/plain;charset=UTF-8"
... as the second one would be seen as a separator and "charset" is no
parameter curl knows anything about so it was just silently discarded.
The new logic now checks if the semicolon and following keyword looks
like a parameter it knows about and if it isn't it is assumed to be
meant to be used within the content-type string itself.
I modified test case 186 to verify that this works as intended.

Added the -br switch to dynamic builds which fixes the issue I saw
with curl's --version output. Added debug info and symfile for debug
builds to linker opts. Added DLL loader for wlink back, but this time
dependend on wlink version.
Patch posted to the list by malak.jiri AT gmail.com.
The var %MAKEFLAGS is only set in 3 cases: if set as environment
var or as macro definition from commandline, and either with the
-u or -ms switch. Since all these cases are unlikely for the average
user it should be safe to only test if %MAKEFLAGS is defined; this
has the benefit that now all other switches can be used again in
addition to the -u which was formerly not possible.
