It seems it needs to be rebased to apply on the current code, but I would love
to get some feedback on how it actually performs!
And an advice to anyone who wants to push for a patch to get merged into
c-ares master: don't just throw it in here and vanish. Please stick around and
argue for the inclusion and do remind us if we haven't seemed to responded to
an issue for a while. We're just a little slow at times and if nobody seems to
really want a patch, there's no harm in us dropping it...
