This release includes the following changes:

 o curl tool "clears" sensitive commands line args from ps output
 o no emacs local variables in the source files anymore, curl-style.el is the
   new file to use.
 o added script for distributed, automatic, multi-platform testing. Please
   join up and help us test the bleeding edge curl on various platforms!
 o the "scratch buffer" only allocated when actually needed. This drasticly
   reduces the amount of memory used for a single handle.
 o started implementing the 'share' system (detailed elsewhere)
 o removed the strequal and strnequal macros from curl/curl.h
 o added CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH / --location-trusted

This release includes the following bugfixes:

 o "curl -O" only, now outputs an error message accordingly
 o builds fine on Redhat Linux 9 (configure fix)
 o the CA cert bundle included a demo cert now removed
 o changing some attributes between two transfers when re-using a connection
   did not "take effect" properly (multiple errors corrected)
 o the test suite runs faster and hopefully a bit more reliably
 o improved configure check for presence of functions, needed for HPUX
 o the curl tool now makes a correct URL escaping when appending to the URL
   when using -T and the file name is appended to the URL.
 o configure --enable-libgcc now explicitly add -lgcc to the linker
 o better configure checks for headers (since some platforms got nasty
   warnings output previously)
 o configure --help looks nicer
 o data transfer bug on HP-UX systems
 o improved random seeding for systems without a reliable random source
 o 64bit Sparc compiler warnings removed
 o a case where a connect failure didn't return an error string
 o DNS cache problem in AIX 4.3 and later was fixed
 o a POST-then-GET problem when re-using the same handle in libcurl
 o extra precaution added for FTP servers returning 0 bytes to SIZE commands
 o looping issue in the receive function (i.e badly updated progress meter)
 o 'Expect: 100-continue' behavior restored
 o CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS segfault fixed
 o multi-interface connecting on Windows to non-listening ports fixed
 o Curl_base64_encode() now encodes zero-bytes too properly
 o fixed the infamous SSL error:00000000 outputs
 o zlib build fix in the mingw makefile
 o don't check for ca cert env variable if --insecure is used
 o always use strict cert name check unless --insecure is used
 o Content-Type extracting fixed
 o DEBUGFUNCTION could be called with wrong arguments in uploads
 o ftp downloads could wrongly return CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE in some conditions
 o the fopen.c example source code didn't work
 o Content-Type extracting memory leak fixed
 o curl/multi.h header was fixed for C++ compiles
 o .netrc file scanning for names+passwords fixed
 o curl-config --cflags works even when include dir isn't /usr/include
 o CURLINFO_PRIVATE can return NULL properly
