Ouch, thanks for wasting a few of my brain cells. This is why do dont add
stupid code to core.

My web server doesnt have curl installed, nor does it have /usr/bin/local/

You havent bothered to think your code through. Why dont you un-fuck your
code, configure it as an extension and go from there? at that point you can
find out exactly how many site your going to break. Once you have a stable
reviewed extension we can *think* about merging it to core.
