Summary: Progress callback not called during failed socket connect

Initial Comment:
When attempting to connect to my FTP server, giving libcurl the wrong port (i.e port 219 instead of 21), the progress function is not called during the connection attempt. This is with curl 7.18.0.

Problem appears to be in lib/connect.c, in Curl_connecthost() and/or singleipconnect(). I have absolutely no experience with networking functions except using libcurl, but I added a pgrsUpdate() call in Curl_connecthost() after the singleipconnect() function is called. This has the progress callback called, but only after the blocking singleipconnect() function returns.

I'll keep trial-and-erroring to see if I can fix this, but quickly looking at the singleipconnect() function and it's blocking standard library calls, I'm not even sure there's a possible fix for this.
