Dear list

This is an initial attempt to port curl to Plan9 (i386). The binary
(+sources) can be found at
http://ports2plan9.googlecode.com/files/curl-7.23.1.pkg.tbz

The thing compiles with the native Plan9 pcc (Posix c compiler, front
end to kencc) and the resulting curl binary can at least execute
"--help" and "--version". Whether it does anything useful is however
not tested yet...

There are some pretty ugly hacks in there (mostly due to me being a
self-taught hobbyist with very little actual knowledge) so there is
definitely room for improvement.

Attached is also a diff (GNU diff -Naur) for a backport of the changes
to the complete sources.

hopefully people will have some good suggestions of improvements :)
