Thanks! I committed it now.

What do you think about my idea to bind() the UPD socket on 127.0.0.1 so that
the thread can make the socket readable?

If we don't provide something similar to this, the multi interface without
ares on windows work only if the app times out the select() in a timely manner
and call curl_multi_perform() even though no fd_set signals it to read or
write.
