Yes, since once upon the time c-ares lived as a subdiretory to libcurl named ares.

while the distribution provides c-ares.

Does it? If you clone the c-ares git archive you may get a c-ares dir, but surely each released c-ares tarball has the directory named c-ares-[version] ?

I think m4/curl-confopts.m4 should be changed like this:

     dnl c-ares library path has not been given
     if test -d "$srcdir/c-ares"; then
       dnl c-ares sources embedded in curl tree
       embedded_ares="yes"
       AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(c-ares)

Are you using this feature yourself, and if so can you please clarify exactly why you need to change 'ares' to 'c-ares' like this?
