Whoops, I guess I forgot to test that last-minute safety check. Didn't realize
libcurl was supposed to be C90 conforming either, that's not the default
compile flag for me... Anyhow, here's a revised patch with those issues fixed.

This version of my code (I had an earlier O(n) one that just checked every
easy-handle at curl_multi_timeout call) does use the splay tree. I noticed
that the multi timeouts were only ever 1ms or disabled, so this new function
is run in the cases where it would have been disabled only. Therefore, the 1ms
timeouts always should override the user-defined timeout which only comes into
action when there would be no other timeout set. Or at least that was what I
tried to do-- did I miss something?
