they have their use of libcurl. I'm porting to windows a set of libs. In one
of these libs, there are 2 ways to do async download: fork or c-ares. As
there is no fork on windows, i have to use c-ares. As I'm not the maintainer
of these libs, I have no choice. So i just have a specific use of libcurl
that your several thousands of users do not have (and i honestly do not care
of them). Fwiw, i'm creating mingw packages for libcurl and its
dependencies, that can be installed with mingw-get.
