Configuration files such as curl_config.h and all config-*.h no longer exist
nor are generated/copied into 'src' directory, now these only exist in 'lib'
directory from where curl tool sources uses them.
Additionally old src/setup.h has been refactored into src/tool_setup.h which
now pulls lib/setup.h
The possibility of a makefile needing an include path adjustment exists.
Use the new library CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE rather than disabling this via
the sockopt callback. If --keepalive-time is used, apply the value to
CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL.
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).

The documented way of using them would be to use timeval.c as a source code file.
The above described method works very well when statically linking libcurl and
apps, curl tool, but has several drawbacks when you build a true shared
libcurl (i.e. Name space clash at linkage stage as functions are defined more
than once. Windows makefiles are not capable of handling this system of
source-level sharing)
So...
Now curlutil.h and curlutil.c define and implement cutil_tvnow and cutil_tvdiff
which replace curlx_tvnow and curlx_tvdiff for the curl tool. Doing this we
avoid the above described problems.
