+- Added the policy stuff to the curl_easy_setopt man page for the two supported
+  policies.
+
+- Implemented some support for the CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY option. The policies
+  CURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED and CURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST are now
+  supported, and the "least recently used" is used as default if no policy
+  is chosen.

+Pass a long. This option sets what policy libcurl should use when the
+connection cache is filled and one of the open connections has to be closed to
+make room for a new connection. This must be one of the CURLCLOSEPOLICY_*
+defines. Use CURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED to make libcurl close the
+connection that was least recently used, that connection is also least likely
+to be capable of re-use. Use CURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST to make libcurl close the
+oldest connection, the one that was created first among the ones in the
+connection cache. The other close policies are not support yet. (Added in 7.7)
