Great, I've updated changelog for you ;-p

Yep, it is true that a system with no getaddrinfo() will require
c-ares to be capable of doing IPv6. But...
Doing some CVS archeology it seems that for configure-capable systems
it has been this way for more than 7 years now. Look at acinclude.m4
revision 1.4 around line #100
http://cool.haxx.se/cvs.cgi/curl/acinclude.m4?annotate=1.4 So, the
build regression will affect at most only non configure systems that
actually have a working getaddrinfo() and do not define
HAVE_GETADDRINFO in their config-xxx.h files.
