Updated build instruction since I now offer a complete ares-package with all

the patches already applied. No need to apply any patches manually anymore.

ares 1.1.1 is still compatible.

-  ares 1.1.1 contains too old versions of config.guess and config.sub. Copy
-  the ones from the curl source tree in to the ares source tree before you
-  run configure.
+NOTE
+  libcurl works with ares 1.1.1, but several patches and improvements have
+  been put into the c-ares package which has made it more portable and better
+  working on several platforms.

 Build libcurl to use ares

 that (--disable-ipv6) since ares isn't IPv6 compatible (yet).
