Libcurl declarations could be a way forward. As far as I can see from
the phobos makefiles there really isn't any dependencies on anything
other than standard system libraries and zlib. In order to support the
full curl API the following libs are listed as optional dependencies.
I guess it would not be a good idea to include the source for all these
like it is done with zlib in etc. So how should this be handled? Should
all optional deps just be opted out? Alternatively they could be
statically linked in the binary distribution of phobos?
At this point this is open to discussion - in this very group. Perhaps
the nicest way would be to automatically adapt to whatever is installed
on the user's platform.
Adapt at compile time or at run time (e.g. using dlopen() calls)?
