I blame some of my confusion on the naming of this define. In my head,
"acknowledging EINTR" means that we deal with it, while in fact defining
CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR currently means that EINTR will have no effect.

I think I had been less confused If it had been named CURL_IGNORE_EINTR or
something!
