There is no such thing as _The_ curl library. Different

But can't we say "to use std.net.curl with dmd 2.xxx you must
have libcurl 7.10 or higher"?

It is not that simple. Well, I remember you taking part in
https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10710 so you
should be aware of it. It is not about version number of curl but
about transitive dependency - openssl vs gnutls.
We can say "you must have this version of libcurl built with this
flags" but it is not much different from saying "use Debian-likes
or get out".
