Added CURLOPT_LOCALPORT and CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE to libcurl. Set with the
curl tool with --local-port. Plain and simply set the range of ports to bind
the local end of connections to. Implemented on to popular demand.

Not extensively tested. Please let me know how it works.

Based on an error report by Philippe Vaucher, we no longer count a retried
connection setup as a follow-redirect. It turns out 1) this fails when a FTP
connection is re-setup and 2) it does make the max-redirs counter behave
wrong. This fix was not verified since the reporter vanished, but I believe
this is the right fix nonetheless.

Michal Marek provided a patch for FTP that makes libcurl continue to try PASV
even after EPSV returned a positive response code, if libcurl failed to
connect to the port number the EPSV response said. Obviously some people are
going through protocol-sensitive firewalls (or similar) that don't understand
EPSV and then they don't allow the second connection unless PASV was
used. This also called for a minor fix of test case 238.

the second -P fix

Jon Turner pointed out that doing -P [hostname] with curl (built ipv4-only)
didn't work.

Bryan Henderson turned the 'initialized' variable for curl_global_init()
into a counter, and thus you can now do multiple curl_global_init() and you
are then supposed to do the same amount of calls to curl_global_cleanup().
Bryan also updated the docs accordingly.

Andrew Benham fixed a race condition in the test suite that could cause the
test script to kill all processes in the current process group!

Fixed FTP_SKIP_PASV_IP and FTP_USE_EPSV to "do right" when used on FTP thru
HTTP proxy.

When using a bad path over FTP, as in when libcurl couldn't CWD into all
given subdirs, libcurl would still "remember" the full path as if it is the
current directory libcurl is in so that the next curl_easy_perform() would
get really confused if it tried the same path again - as it would not issue
any CWD commands at all, assuming it is already in the "proper" dir.

Starting now, a failed CWD command sets a flag that prevents the path to be
"remembered" after returning.

Mike Jean fixed so that the second CONNECT when doing FTP over a HTTP proxy
actually used a new connection and not sent the second request on the first
socket!

7.15.1 with the now to be announced security flaw fixed

Jamie Newton pointed out that libcurl's file:// code would close() a zero
file descriptor if given a non-existing file.

Doug Kaufman's set of patches to make curl build fine on DJGPP again using
configure.

I extended a patch from David Shaw to make libcurl _always_ provide an error
string in the given error buffer to address the flaw mention on 21 sep 2005.

Applied Albert Chin's patch that makes the libcurl.pc pkgconfig file get
installed on 'make install' time.
