>Description:
The ftp/curl port can be configured to use the c-ares asynchronous name resolution library.  If this library dependency is enabled, the ftp/curl port currently looks for a specific version of the c-ares shared library, version 2.  However, the current shared library version is 3 (/usr/local/lib/libcares.so.3).  curl builds against the new library without any issues, and the resulting binary works in my limited testing.  I suggest removing the library version requirement (see attached patch).
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/ftp/curl
make BATCH=yes WITH_CARES=yes

>Fix:
