While developing some automated test in python I noticed I couldn't get
OPT_CAINFO to work, it was always returning error 48 (UNKNOWN OPTION).
The error is raised also while trying the example script from
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/curlpython-2010-02/att-0017/certinfo_example.py

This is happening on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. I tested with both pycurl 7.19.3
(ubuntu package), installing the latest 7.19.5.1 in python 2 and 3 with
pip/pip3 and also manually installing it.

I checked with ltrace what's the difference wrt a simple C program that was
instead working and noticed these diferences:

a.out->curl_easy_setopt(0x801510, 172, 1, 172) = 0

pycurl.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so->curl_easy_setopt(0xfa4c30, 172, 1,
0) = 48

the pycurl version was sending a different value as the last argument

Applying this incredibly small patch fixes it for me
