Daniel Stenberg 87bcb6f377 Karl M added the CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY and CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET options that
an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract
the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any transfer at
all after the connect is done.

Include files for libcurl, external users.

They're all placed in the curl subdirectory here for better fit in any kind
of environment. You should include files from here using...

        #include <curl/curl.h>

... style and point the compiler's include path to the directory holding the
curl subdirectory. It makes it more likely to survive future modifications.

NOTE FOR LIBCURL HACKERS

All the include files in this tree are written and intended to be installed on
a system that may serve multiple platforms and multiple applications, all
using libcurl (possibly even different libcurl installations using different
versions). Therefore, all header files in here must obey these rules:

* They cannot depend on or use configure-generated results from libcurl's or
  curl's directories. Other applications may not run configure as (lib)curl
  does, and using platform dependent info here may break other platforms.

* We cannot assume anything else but very basic compiler features being
  present. While libcurl requires an ANSI C compiler to build, some of the
  earlier ANSI compilers clearly can't deal with some preprocessor operators.

* Newlines must remain unix-style for older compilers' sake.

* Comments must be written in the old-style /* unnested C-fashion */

To figure out how to do good and portable checks for features, operating
systems or specific hardwarare, a very good resource is Bjorn Reese's
