Brad House fixed VS2005 compiler warnings due to time_t being 64bit.
He also made recent Microsoft compilers use _strdup() instead of strdup().

Ashish Sharma provided a patch for supporting multiple entries in the
/etc/hosts file. Patch edited for coding style and functionality by me
(Daniel).

ares_destroy_options() and ares_save_options() man pages by Brad House

ouch, two conditionals were turned backwards!

When transferring 500 downloads in parallel with a c-ares enabled build only
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left
in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the
upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much
better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in
use.

Feng Tu made (lib)curl support "upload" resuming work for file:// URLs.

make next version 1.4.0

first take at detecting a random device and seeding the random key using data
from it in randomize_key()

Shmulik Regev brought cryptographically secure transaction IDs

Brad House added ares_save_options() and ares_destroy_options() that can be
used to keep options for later re-usal when ares_init_options() is used.

Added CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS which is a curl_multi_setopt() option for setting
the maximum size of the connection cache maximum size of the multi handle.

In case of test failure, try not to show log files of other tests

added ares_process_fd() to allow applications to ask for processing on
specific sockets and thus avoiding select() and associated functions/macros.
This function will be used by upcoming libc

added ares_process_fd() to allow applications to ask for processing on
specific sockets and thus avoiding select() and associated functions/macros.
This function will be used by upcoming libcurl releases for this very
reason. It also made me export the ares_socket_t type in the public ares.h
header file, since ares_process_fd() uses that type for two of the arguments.

When working with a problem Stefan Becker had, I found an off-by-one buffer
overwrite in Curl_select(). While fixing it, I also improved its performance
somewhat by changing calloc to malloc and breaking out of a loop earlier
(when possible).

Primarily this fixes an off-by-one buffer overwrite (rare but still existing).

I also switched from calloc() to malloc() as a minor performance boost since
the rest of the code fills in

Primarily this fixes an off-by-one buffer overwrite (rare but still existing).

I also switched from calloc() to malloc() as a minor performance boost since
the rest of the code fills in the structs fine anyway - and they must for the
case when we use the stack-based auto variable array instead of the allocated
one.

I made the loop filling in poll_fds[] break when poll_nfds is reached as a
minor speed improvement.

Clarify a bit about the fact that easy handles remain in the multi stack when
transfers are done and need to be removed and closed or re-added.

make it a WARNING since this hits people hard in their faces

Ravi Pratap fixed a flaw in the init_by_resolv_conf() function for windows
that could cause it to return a bad return code.
