Duh! Looks like there's still a time-out bug with the multi interface.
I've played again with the examples multi-single.c and hiperfifo.c,
after adding CURLOPT_TIMEOUT both example programs detects time-out
while connecting. But after connection only multi-single.c (using
curl_multi_timeout) will detect a time-out, but not hiperfifo.c
(using timer callback).

I think the bug is in function multi_runsingle within case CURLM_STATE_PERFORM,
there are upload/download speed checks but no check of the elapsed time.
So I've added such a check at the end of that case block, but maybe it's
better placed at the beginning of that block....
