When trying to compile against newer libmicrohttpd versions it fails with the following errror:

Breaking change was introduced in libmicrohttpd back in April last year:

Introduce enum MHD_Result for #MHD_YES/#MHD_NO to avoid using 'int' so much.
Note that this change WILL cause compiler warnings until (most) MHD callbacks
in application code change their return type from 'int' to 'enum MHD_Result'.
That said, avoiding possible confusions of different enums is going to make
the code more robust in the future. For conditional compilation, test
for "MHD_VERSION >= 0x00097002". -CG
