[PATCH 0/3] add c-ares and aria2

[Efraim Flashner]

This patch has driven me crazy a bit. C-ares is a library for asynchronous DNS
lookups, and aria2 is a cli program to download multiple files/torrents
simultaneously, and also a git-annex dependency. C-ares builds without any
problems, but aria2 was a different story. The first problem is that the tests
seem to need network connectivity, and it tries to access files outside the
build chroot. Disabling the tests was the easy part. The second problem was that
pkg-config wouldn't find c-ares, so it kept on building without it. Looking at
patch 3, where I finally got the flags correct to bypass pkg-config and declare
where to find c-ares, I got errors right at the end of the build phase where it
couldn't find certain features of c-ares. As the patches are, patch 1 and 2 work
well, patch 3 doesn't build, but I've included it in case anyone has an idea of
something I can try. As it currently stands, nothing is currently set to depend
on c-ares, and aria2 works without it.

Efraim Flashner (3):
  gnu: Add c-ares.
  gnu: Add aria2.
  gnu: aria2: Build with c-ares.
