Of course, if having libcurl in Phobos is causing enough problems, that raises 
the question as to whether we should reverse our decision to include it in 
Phobos. That would of course create it's own set of problems, because it would 
break existing code, but it would be trivial enough to change such code to 
import a separate library rather than std.net.curl if we decided that 
including it in Phobos was causing enough problems that it wasn't worth it and 
moved std.net.curl to somewhere else outside of Phobos.
