-m on curl on windows with telnet doesn't work

This verifies that my fix for bug report #700275 works.

test58 added

improved the header checks
--enable-libgcc
check for a sed before using it

Add include files to prevent warnings on some (HPUX) systems.

include "config.h" from the lib's private dir

Setup include path to the lib dir to enable inclusion of "config.h"

Made set_local_option() properly static as reported by Rick Jones

Prefix defines and symbols with CURL_ to reduce the risk of colliding with
various system's other defines.

support a few more common typedefs

Massige use of AC_HELP_STRING() all over makes the --help output so much
nicer!

another week of changes, especially libtool gave us an adventure to remember

syntax error

Christophe Demory fixed the check to work better for non-blocking on HP-UX
systems. Bug report #701749.

Use ssize_t instead of 'int' to make the 64 bit sparc compiler happier.
Fix by Richard Gorton.

Richard Gorton improved the random_the_seed() function for systems where
we don't find/know of a good random source. This way, we get a better
randomness which in turn should make SSL connect

don't check for netinet/if_ether.h, we don't include it and it causes
configure warnings on many systems

Martin C. Martin's fix to produce an error message in case of failure
in the Curl_is_connected() function.

added things to fix at the next major release/change

no the data is not freed, this is left for the app to do when needed

libtool 1.4.3 is scary as hell and caused just about every build on all sorts
of platforms to stop working, thanks to the fact that it ruquires a SED
variables somehow set by the configure script. It works fine on my linux
running autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7 but others seem not to do as fine.

Reverting back to the ltmain.sh we had previously, which I believe is 1.4.2
including handmade patches for FreeBSD.

ALERT ALERT ALERT before we try 1.4.3 or similar versions again, check the
${SED} stuff and similar carefully.

Include sys/types.h as well. Ray DeGennaro reports successful compiling on
AIX when this fix is applied and I cannot see how this will break any
systems.

figure out the path to a 'sed' as otherwise libtool gets crazy

libtoolize 1.4.3 brought these
