a new directory listing format that newer libssh2's can provide. This
is probably NOT sufficient to handle all directory listing formats that
server's can provide and should be revisited.
open file limit. In this case the test is skipped with a
message showing this limitation when the number of open files
needed for the test is greater than 256.
Check for lowercase 'bool' type at configuration stage. If not available
provide a suitable replacement with a type definition of 'unsigned char'
in setup_once.h
Move definitions of TRUE and FALSE to setup_once.h
part of the official libcurl API http://curl.haxx.se/lxr/source/lib/README.curlx
The documented way of using them would be to use timeval.c as a source code file.
The above described method works very well when statically linking libcurl and
apps, test programs, but has several drawbacks when you build a true shared
libcurl (i.e. Name space clash at linkage stage as functions are defined more
than once. Windows makefiles are not capable of handling this system of
source-level sharing)
So...
Now testutil.h and testutil.c define and implement tutil_tvnow and tutil_tvdiff
which replace curlx_tvnow and curlx_tvdiff for the libtest programs. Doing this
we avoid the above described problems, and the code in the testsuite does not
impose the need to keep those functions public in libcurl even when not part of
the API.

open file descriptors is greater than FD_SETSIZE minus SAFETY_MARGIN,
also skip the test if any of the open file descriptors has a number
greater than FD_SETSIZE minus SAFETY_MARGIN.
when more than FD_SETSIZE file descriptors are open.
This means that if for any reason we are not able to
open more than FD_SETSIZE file descriptors then test
518 should not be run.
test 537 is all about testing libcurl functionality
when the system has nearly exhausted the number of
free file descriptors. Test 537 will try to run with
very few free file descriptors.
