Dan Locks cda02fb78b libcurl.m4: AC_PATH_PROG fixes
The invocation of autoconf's AC_PATH_PROG( ) is not quite right for
finding curl-config. This fix corrects the negative case (where
curl-config is not found).

Daniel Stenberg 9bce615f46 libcurl.m4: mention argument is PREFIX
The macro provides a --with-libcurl option that expects a PREFIX to be
specified and not actually a "directory" in which libcurl will be found.
This now spells that out more clearly.

Make it explicit that setting CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY to 1 will make libcurl
to list the directory.

Dirk Manske 5fb4279ec7 multi & hiper examples: updates and cleanups
all multi and hiper examples:

* don't loop curl_multi_perform calls, that was <7.20.0 style, currently
  the exported multi functions will not return CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM

all hiper examples:
* renamed check_run_count to check_multi_info
* don't  compare current running handle count with previous value, this
  was the wrong way to check for finished requests, simply call
  curl_multi_info_read
* it's also safe to call curl_multi_remove_handle inside the
  curl_multi_info_read loop.

ghiper.c:
* replaced curl_multi_socket (that function is marked as obsolete) calls
  with curl_multi_socket_action calls (as in hiperfifo.c and
  evhiperfifo.c)

ghiper.c and evhiperfifo.c:
* be smart as hiperfifo.c, don't do uncessary curl_multi_* calls in
  new_conn and main

Daniel Stenberg 19f45eaa79 duphandle: use ares_dup()
curl_easy_duphandle() was not properly duping the ares channel. The
ares_dup() function was introduced in c-ares 1.6.0 so by starting to use
this function we also raise the bar and require c-ares >= 1.6.0
(released Dec 9, 2008) for such builds.

James Bursa fbefd816e4 getinmemory: make the example easier to follow
1. Remove the comment warning that it's "not been verified to work". It
   works with no problems in my testing.

2. Remove 2 unnecessary includes.

3. Remove the myrealloc(). Initialize chunk.memory with malloc() instead
   of NULL. The comments for these two parts contradicted each other.

4. Handle out of memory from realloc() instead of continuing.

5. Print a brief status message at the end.

Daniel Stenberg cfdc4aca45 RESUME_FROM: clarify what ftp uploads do
The numerical value passed to CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM for FTP uploads is
interpreted and used as position where to resume the _reading_ of the
local file and it will "blindly" append that data on the remote
file. This was certainly not clear in the docs previously.

Daniel Stenberg 232ad6549a multi: support timeouts
Curl_expire() is now expanded to hold a list of timeouts for each easy
handle. Only the closest in time will be the one used as the primary
timeout for the handle and will be used for the splay tree (which sorts
and lists all handles within the multi handle).

When the main timeout has triggered/expired, the next timeout in time
that is kept in the list will be moved to the main timeout position and
used as the key to splay with. This way, all timeouts that are set with
Curl_expire() internally will end up as a proper timeout. Previously any
Curl_expire() that set a _later_ timeout than what was already set was
just silently ignored and thus missed.

Setting Curl_expire() with timeout 0 (zero) will cancel all previously
added timeouts.

Corrects known bug #62.

Daniel Stenberg 5c2b6b2d3e curl_easy_setopt.3: rename stream to userdata
In some places where the name 'stream' has been used for naming a
function argument that is in fact settable with a setopt() option we now
call that argument 'userdata' to make it more obvious that it is in fact
possible to set by the application.

Daniel Stenberg 53e47ca947 KNOWN_BUG: The SOCKET type in Win64 is 64 bits
The SOCKET type in Win64 is 64 bits large (and thus so is curl_socket_t
on that platform), and long is only 32 bits. It makes it impossible for
curl_easy_getinfo() to return a socket properly with the
CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET option as for all other operating systems.
