Perhaps the best solution to this would be something like
curl_easy_init_opts. That would take parameters that would allow you to set
various "creation time" options. I'm sure c-ares isn't going to be the only
library that will ever require such a feature, so it sounds like it would be
something worth adding. Basically it would work like curl_easy_setopt except
this would be done when the object is created.

Any thoughts?
