This function must be called when the program using c-ares will
no longer need any c-ares function. Once the program has called
ares_library_cleanup() it shall not make any further call to any
\fIares_library_cleanup(3)\fP it shall not make any further call to any
c-ares function.
.PP
This function does not cancel any pending c-ares lookups or requests
previously done. Program must use \fIares_cancel(3)\fP for this purpose.

.B This function is not thread safe.
You have to call it once the program
is about to terminate, but this call must be done once the program has
terminated every single thread that it could have initiated. This is
required to avoid potential race conditions in library deinitialization,
and also due to the fact that ares_library_cleanup() might call functions
from other libraries that are thread unsafe, and could conflict with any
other thread that is already using these other libraries.

Non-Win32/64 systems can still use c-ares version 1.6.1 without calling
