 From a quick look, this looks very well thought out.  I'll review it 
more thoroughly when I have more time.  A few questions/comments from a 
quick look at the docs:

Does the async stuff use D threads, or does Curl have its own async API?

In your examples for postData, you have onReceive a ubyte[] and write it 
out to console.  Did you mean to cast this to some kind of string?

For onReceive, what's the purpose of the return value?

If/when this module makes it into Phobos, are we going to start 
including a libcurl binary with DMD distributions so that std.curl feels 
truly **standard** and requires zero extra configuration?
