Hmmm. I see there's a pragma("lib", "curl") inside std.net.curl.

but look at simple test:

import std.net.curl;
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
         get("dlang.org").writeln;
}

rdmd test.d -> linking error on curl
dmd test.d -> linking error on curl
dmd test.d -L-lcurl -L-lphobos2 -> works

So I though this function didn't exist. Why doesn't it work?
