I don't know much about all that stuff, but If i'm not mistaken, there is
threads support that has been added (--enable-threaded resolver option of
configure). Is it that one ? If so, I can ask if it is possible to use it.
The less dependencies there are, the better it is for me.

Note that in docs/FEATURES, it is mentioning that async name resolving can
be done with c-ares, so maybe that file should be updated if there are other
ways to do it.
