I was thinking of a macro like:
#define TRUE_HOSTNAME(conn) \
(conn->ace_hostname ? conn->ace_hostname : conn->hostname)
And use that in Curl_resolv and "Host" header etc. But always use
conn->hostname for display.

I'm not sure it's a goodf idea to define USE_LIBIDN without
making sure we libiconv.a/iconv.h also. libidn seems to require
that. No surprise.
