I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry, but I found almost the exact same
mistake in the connect code as I found in the c-ares name resolving and I've
attached my take at fixing this. Please try it out and let me know how it
works! I expect this patch to work on earlier libcurl versions as well as
latest CVS.

This should make the progress callback get called once per second even during
very slow connect attempts.
