decided to fork and release a separate project since the original ares author
didn't want the improvements that were vital for our use of it.
This package is dubbed 'c-ares' since I (Daniel Stenberg) wanted this for use

c-ares is not API compatible with ares: a new name makes that more obvious to
the public.
