Version is clear. Thanks. I would try to make the bin package available for
solaris 5.7.

One more question regarding thread safe behavour in case of permanent
connection. If I want to use the same curl_handle for different threads in my
program, apparently, it seems that I have to have some queue mechanism
implemented in my program for using that curl_handle. i.e I can't use this
curl_handle from many programs at a time. How can we call this behaviour of
doing one thing at a time as a thread safe?
