Summary0003940: ./configure claims curl doesn't have cares enabled, could use pkg-config
DescriptionI get a false warning about libcurl not having c-ares enabled at compiletime. I pasted proof into Additional Information.

I suspected that ./Config would make the same mistake, but in my quick test it didn't.
Steps To Reproduce1. Use Gentoo :-)
2. Install curl into the system with cares support enabled

Perhaps have a look at my ./Config check I put in a few days ago. It does a proper check by doing curl-config --features and checking for AsynchDNS :)

unreal-3940-pkg-config-libcurl.patch: Add pkg-config support for curl, detect features properly in ./configure.

I expect the pkg-config support half of this is more controversial. Also, I can remove the hint to the user about forcing compilation against a libcurl that doesn't have cares if you want ;-).

- Fix the detection for curl-without-c-ares a little (0003940).

Sorry for stealing your bug slightly... but I wanted a simple fix :P.
I tried to clone this bug to 0003941, so to make a separate bug for pkg-config support -> 3.2.10, but it seems it does not really clone it, as it didn't copy the attachement!
