This is a weird mix of bool and int... still_running is 0/1. msg_done
is true/false.f.
I know stdbool started to be used in pacman with this patch series, but
I think it should be removed from here and a more comprehensive made
later on so not to have a mix.

Not directly related to this patch, but OK...

Where is this going?

This is a weird variable name now I have figured out what it does. My
understanding is that this is really a flag to actually check that
everything is done. I know it is related to the current CURLMsg being
complete. Can it be renamed something like "recheck_downloads"?
