Using 'socks5h' as proxy protocol will make it a
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME proxy which is SOCKS5 and asking the proxy to
resolve host names. I found no "standard" protocol name for this.
Follow style of GNU layout (cp, mv ...) where options are separated with
comma: -o, --option
Order item alphabetically (by length also): -o, -O, --option
Follow style of GNU layout by moving help related options to the end:
--help, -M, --version
Clarify that the '-', '.', '_' or '~' letters are also not escaped since
they shouldn't according to RFC3986 section 2.3.
This is how this function has behaved since sep 2010, commit
5df13c3173.
As it is already included by curlbuild.h if it exists on the platform it
was included here superfluously anyway.

Improved library search by check_function_exists_concat() macro:
it does not revert the list of libraries any more.
Improved OpenSSL library search: first find zlib, then search for
openssl libraries that may depend on zlib.
For Unix: openssl libraries can now be detected in nonstandard
locations. Supply CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH to CMake on command line.
Added installation capability (very basic one yet).
Added CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING as the option to set to request Transfer
Encoding in HTTP requests (if built zlib enabled). I also renamed
CURLOPT_ENCODING to CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING (while keeping the old name
around) to reduce the confusion when we have to encoding options for
HTTP.
--tr-encoding is now the new command line option for curl to request
this, and thus I updated the test cases accordingly.
Stop the abuse of CURLE_FAILED_INIT as return code for things not being
init related by introducing two new return codes:
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN replaces return code 4 that has been obsoleted for
several years. It is used for returning error when something is
attempted to be used but the feature/option was not enabled or
explictitly disabled at build-time. Getting this error mostly means that
libcurl needs to be rebuilt.
CURLE_FAILED_INIT is now saved and used strictly for init
failures. Getting this problem means something went seriously wrong,
like a resource shortage or similar.
CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION is the option formerly known as
CURLE_UNKNOWN_TELNET_OPTION (and the old name is still present,
separately defined to be removed in a very distant future). This error
code is meant to be used to return when an option is given to libcurl
that isn't known. This problem would mostly indicate a problem in the
program that uses libcurl.
The read callback must return the exact requested amount of data when it
is used for doing TFTP uploads. This is due to how it deals with data
internally. This could/should be fixed but for now we document the
existing behavior.
