Hello List!

I'll pretend that this is on topic because I'm asking about using libcurl
with mingw-w64.

I downloaded curl and libcurl, I think from the curl web site.  I have
been using curl (from the windows command line) to fetch line-based
text data from a web site.

I am now considering building this into a program.

My questions:

Do I anticipate any issues using libcurl with mingw-w64?  If so, what
should I look out for and how might I deal with it?

Second, right now I use curl to fetch data files, and then I read them
into a program as an ifstream and use getline.  In an ideal world, I would
want to be able to get an istream from a libcurl call.  As libcurl is
c-based, I assume that I don't get this out of the box.  Would anyone
have suggestions for hooking up a libcurl call to an istream?  Or
would it not be worth the bother, and I should just use the buffer-based
callback scheme that seems to be the libcurl way of doing it?

This is on 64-bit windows 7, and the curl.exe that I downloaded
appears to be a 64-bit program.

Thanks for any suggestions.
