Summary0003847: unrealircd should be able to use system c-ares
DescriptionUnrealircd should be able to link against and use the system c-ares. C-ares's source code doesn't need to be modified for unrealircd to get the required information from c-ares. Also, unrealircd is compatible with API of c-ares versions 1.5* and 1.6* (1.4* had different arguments for a callback function, making it incompatible).
Additional InformationI'm submitting a patch which allows unrealircd to compile against a system-cares version 1.5.3 and greater.
However, this patch depends on the system-tre patch in bug 0003842 because both edit the same lines and similar lines in Makefile.in and configure.in.

- Applied another patch from ohnobinki which adds --with-system-cares
  (0003847).

Thanks.

For the record, I've maintained the 1.6.0 requirement, not because of API incompatibility, but because there's no reason to use a version older than 1.6.0 since those have known security issues.
