The c-ares library is used for making asynchronous DNS lookups. We should investigate if we actually need this library or if we could get by with a simple threaded lookup. Libcurl can use c-ares or a threaded lookup already. Also, as mentioned in #74, c-ares may be the source of a crash when building on newer versions of macOS.
