   This is an "external" header file. Do not give away any internals here!
 
   GOALS
 
   o Enable a "pull" interface. The application that uses libcurl decides where
     and when to ask libcurl to get/send data.
 
   o Enable multiple simultaneous transfers in the same thread without making it
     complicated for the application.
 
   o Enable the application to select() on its own file descriptors and curl's
     file descriptors simultaneous easily.

  * For some reason we added this include here at one point, and rather than to
