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. regards Vincent Torri
