Good idea! I'm a bit worried about actually doing this unconditionally
in libcurl, though. A multi interface using program with a few hundred
handles open could all of a sudden see hundreds of processes being created
for this purpose. Mind you, a multi interface using program with a few
hundred handles open should be using c-ares, but creating processes within
libcurl could still have the potential of messing up an unsuspecting app.
