Libconfig host down

[ahoischen]

The libconfig host (www.hyperrealm.com) is resolved to an incorrect IP by Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). The correct IP is 66.96.149.32, but Google returns 50.87.249.191. The widespread use Google's DNS causes the libconfig installation to fail for many people and Docker users.

I would usually contact the site host regarding this issue, but the contact form on the site is disabled due to spam and Google didn't return any related social media accounts.

This problem could be solved in any of these ways:

• Upgrade libconfig to 1.6 which can be downloaded from GitHub Libconfig 1.6 fails to compile even for normal OSs.
• Find a different host for libconfig1.5 (The GitHub tarball is different from the hyperrealm tarball)
• Use the IP address instead of the domain name

Update: www.hyperrealm.com now features a "website coming soon" banner. This either means that the website is getting an overhaul or that it has been sold. I'll release a mirror of the good tarball on GitHub shortly.
