curl builds with c-ares if you run configure with --enable-ares, and it
defaults to check for (and use) it in a subdir to the curl sources.

So, several of the curl autobuilds[*] build and test curl using c-ares, which
is good for at least some basic c-ares verification, but they then always do
that with the c-ares version from CVS and not publicly released versions.
That's why I didn't catch this little problem...
