changelog of the current development status, as one or more of these problems
may have been fixed since this was written!
+* curl version 7.12.2 fails on AIX if compiled with --enable-ares.
+ The workaround is to combine --enable-ares with --disable-shared
+
* When connecting to a SOCKS proxy, the (connect) timeout is not properly
acknowledged after the actual TCP connect (during the SOCKS "negotiate"
phase). Pointed out by Lucas. Fix: need to select() and timeout properly.
