Ok, please forget my patch and forgive my stupidity, I've juste
realized why I needed to define -DUSE_CURL_MULTI by hand in the
Makefile, I'm so stupid...

No, it is not your stupidity.

The http.h and http-*.c files assume that USE_CURL_MULTI is
internal and do not want the user to define that symbol from
outside.  It should be better documented and mistakes should be
prevented.

Perhaps we need something like like this.
