Whilst reviewing some of my code (the non-blocking ssl connect in pop3.c) I

Excuse me if this is a rather daft question but I was wondering are those
functions, along with Curl_pp_easy_statemach() in pingpong.c, still needed
now or should we be fixing up the code to use the xxxx_multi_statemach()
functions instead?
It is a fair question! I think perhaps we should consider renaming them since
they are no longer in fact used for driving any easy interface state machine.
They are however still used for a blocking-mode state machine: ftp_quit() is
the only user of ftp_easy_statemach() since it (still) relies on a synchronous
function to do the full request and response. The other protocols have similar
uses.
