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. - Jonathan M Davis
