I maintain curl packages for Fink <http://www.finkproject.org/>, a
Mac OS X package manager and recently started submitting autobuilds
since there weren't any for OS X. Curl is an easy package to
maintain, thanks. :)

I've noticed a couple of things during my builds. One is that tests
518 and 537 always fail, and apparently always have failed on OS X.
It's probably due to the need to use select instead of poll. Perhaps
those tests should be disabled on OS X?

I've also noticed that when curl is built with --enable-hidden-
symbols, the tests won't build since they need curlx_tvnow and
curlx_tvdiff, which are hidden because they're not CURL_EXTERN. When
I build my packages, I do a perl -pi -e 's/timeval.h/timeval.c/g'
tests/libtest/lib*.c so that the tests build with local copies of the
curlx_tv* functions, but that's just a hack, obviously.

Anyway, thanks for all the great work making curl so platform neutral.

Daniel
