Which strikes me as entirely reasonable. No?
There is no such thing as _The_ curl library. Different distros may have
versions with incompatible symbol versioning installed - this is the
very issue with Fedora which was actively discussed in bugzilla.
But can't we say "to use std.net.curl with dmd 2.xxx you must have
libcurl 7.10 or higher"?
