The official API has been using curl_httppost for more than 2 years. I
consider that enough time for everyone to move over.

This change was also available in daily snapshots and the 7.11.1 pre-release
in good time before the public release was made which should've given everyone
who cared enough to test it.

Not a single soul identified this as a problem before release.

So, now everyone need to patch their *PHP source code*. The correct fix is to
rename the structs in the PHP source code (or add the define in there). It is
not to put back the define in the curl header. IMHO.

CURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION is obsolete and is defined to 0 now, and so is a few
other obsolete options and since this code does a switch() on them two uses of
obsolete options in the switch causes this compiler error.

The problems here are with PHP not being up-to-date with libcurl's latest and
greatest.

Yes, you can downgrade libcurl and use an inferior version and most likely
work around these problems.
