Hi Glenn,

FWIW, the application and platform is extremely small and lightweight
- there is nothing as powerful or huge as 'curl' there.  It is all raw
C code, stripped down libraries, etc. measured in K-bytes, not
Megabytes, to say nothing of Gigabytes.

For example, the current 'tweet' code binary is 18K bytes.  If you can
add oAuth in 100K bytes or less, that might work, but that one
function would then still be bigger than the entire rest of the
application.  In fact, the entire file system ROM image, with all the
binaries and data is 114K bytes.
