Merry Christmas to all of you! I must say that the work you're doing for curl
is incredible and I don't know other projects where someone is according time
like that for his project like you do ( when I wrote this sentence it seemed
wierd, and it seem wierd again when I read it again). Bravo!

I saw that CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE is not thread safe... if this is the
only thing that is not thread safe, we could make an option to set a callback
and a data, to lock and unlock the global cache, what do you think?
