Yes we can. To make it really nice I guess we can make the code setup a
listening udp socket (or PF_LOCAL?) on a random port number on localhost and
then let the threaded resolver send a "beep" to it when its done. Then the
select()ing in the app layer will work as expected as well.

Curl_multi_ares_fdset() would need to be written to return the fd_set the app
should select on.
