+c-ares
+======
+
+This package is based on ares 1.1.1 (written by Greg Hudson). Daniel Stenberg
+decided to fork and release a separate project since the original ares author
+didn't want the improvements that were vital for our use of it.
+
+This package is dubbed 'c-ares' since Daniel wanted this for use within the
+curl project (hence the letter C) and it makes a nice pun. c-ares is not API
+compatible with ares: a new name makes that more obvious to the public.
+
+The original libares was distributed at
+ftp://athena-dist.mit.edu:pub/ATHENA/ares (which seems to not be alive
+anymore). A local copy of the original ares package is kept here:
