32 bit and 64 bit.

curl_easy_setup(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, "SESS") on a CURL handle with no
cookies data.

- Based on bug report #2498665 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2498665)
by Daniel Black, I've now added magic to the configure script that makes it
use pkg-config to detect gnutls details as well if the existing method
(using libgnutls-config) fails. While doing this, I cleaned up and unified
the pkg-config usage when detecting openssl and nss as well.

- Karl M brought the patch that creates vc9 Makefiles, and I made 'maketgz'
now use the actual makefile targets to do the VC8 and VC9 makefiles.

- Emil Romanus fixed:

When using the multi interface over HTTP and the server returns a Location
header, the running easy handle will get stuck in the CURLM_STATE_PERFORM
state, leaving the external event loop stuck waiting for data from the
ingoing socket (when using the curl_multi_socket_action stuff). While this
bug was pretty hard to find, it seems to require only a one-line fix. The
break statement on line 1374 in multi.c caused the function to skip the call
to multistate().

How to reproduce this bug? Well, that's another question. evhiperfifo.c in
the examples directory chokes on this bug only _sometimes_, probably
depending on how fast the URLs are added. One way of testing the bug out is
writing to hiper.fifo from more than one source at the same time.

- Rob Crittenden did once again provide an NSS update:

I have to jump through a few hoops now with the NSS library initialization
since another part of an application may have already initialized NSS by the
time Curl gets invoked. This patch is more careful to only shutdown the NSS
library if Curl did the initialization.

It also adds in a bit of code to set the default ciphers if the app that
call NSS_Init* did not call NSS_SetDomesticPolicy() or set specific
ciphers. One might argue that this lets other application developers get
lazy and/or they aren't using the NSS API correctly, and you'd be right.
But still, this will avoid terribly difficult-to-trace crashes and is
generally helpful.

- Igor Novoseltsev fixed a bad situation for the multi_socket() API when doing
pipelining, as libcurl could then easily get confused and A) work on the
handle that was not "first in queue" on a pipeline, or even B) tell the app
to REMOVE a socket while it was in use by a second handle in a pipeline. Both
errors caused hanging or stalling applications.

- curl_multi_timeout() could return a timeout value of 0 even though nothing
was actually ready to get done, as the internal time resolution is higher
than the returned millisecond timer. Therefore it could cause applications
running on fast processors to do short bursts of busy-loops.
curl_multi_timeout() will now only return 0 if the timeout is actually
alreay triggered.

- Using the libssh2 0.19 function libssh2_session_block_directions(), libcurl
now has an improved ability to do right when the multi interface (both
"regular" and multi_socket) is used for SCP and SFTP transfers. This should
result in (much) less busy-loop situations and thus less CPU usage with no
speed loss.

- SCP and SFTP with the multi interface had the same flaw: the 'DONE'
operation didn't complete properly if the EAGAIN equivalent was returned but
libcurl would simply continue with a half-completed close operation
performed. This ruined persistent connection re-use and cause some
SSH-protocol errors in general. The correction is unfortunately adding a
blocking function - doing it entirely non-blocking should be considered for
a better fix.

- libssh2_sftp_last_error() was wrongly used at some places in libcurl which
made libcurl sometimes not properly abort problematic SFTP transfers.
