I neglected this feature in the past, because its realisation is kind of tricky.
We need to have the system libcurl compiled with c-ares support (which currently
isn't possible, it's not hardcoded and not USE flag based) for asynchronous DNS
resolving or the ircd will hang when including remote files and DNS resolving
takes some time. At startup this isn't an issue, but on on /rehash it is.
Other solution is to use the ./curlinstall from the UnrealIRCd distribution, but
that would require to compile c-ares and curl during the UnrealIRCd build process.

Please give unrealircd-3.2.3-r1 a test.
