pragma(lib) works almost everywhere with dmd*.... except phobos, 
due to how that is compiled.

rdmd ignores modules in the std namespace when building the 
dependency list, so dmd only sees the std.net.curl as a header 
import, and doesn't pass on the library.

If you did dmd main.d dmd2/src/phobos/std/net/curl.d, it would 
work, but not just dmd main.d where it finds phobos automatically.

* pragma(lib) doesn't work on ldc and gdc last i heard though.


But, I put the blame here on phobos being compiled as a .lib 
without curl built in.
