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

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

Removed define, risc os build, POST-GET bug fixed, AIX 4.3 problems solved
and two makefiles fixed.

output the md5sum as the last step

Added share.obj

moved the disable-thread warning to the switch code so that the AIX 4.3
automatic disable won't cause a warning

Detect AIX 4.3 or later, and if found disable the check for the thread-safe
*_r() functions as they're not needed (and if fact mess things up for us).

Brought to our attention by the friendly Troels Walsted Hansen in bug report
#696217.

AIX 4.3 or later should use gethostbyname() and not the *_r() version.

Added typecast to please the MSVC compiler.

another typecast added to please the borland compiler

Add (void) on our uses of the swrite() macro when we don't read the return
code as this makes compiler warnings. We *should* fix the code to deal with
the return codes instead...

Init postdata properly before issuing a request, so that there isn't any
lingering POST-stuff that confuses GET requests. Juan F. Codagnone reported
this problem in bug report #653859.

moved a variable declaration to remove a compiler warnings with the MSVC
compiler, mentioned by Andi Jahja

include the engine stuff

Andres Garcia Garcia updated to build with the most recent OpenSSL and
the recent libcurl changes.

James Bursa made it compile on RISC OS as well.
