That's probably a good idea, but it requires changes to parts of libcurl which I haven't seen yet. Maybe someone else can pitch in here and do the required changes or point to the right direction? We may also need to think about a privacy issue here, because the first line is actually used as the HTTP user-agent and now reveals the Windows version. The first two numbers of the SSPI DLL version indicate the Windows NT version number, in this case NT 6.1 == Windows 7.
