[darcs-devel] darcs patch - remove libcurl dependency

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

My co-worker who complains a lot abot darcs frequently mentions how  
irritating it is that he tells darcs "Go pull thusly now!", and darcs  
replies by silently hanging.  He doesn't know if darcs is making  
progress and will eventually give output, or if it is just stuck...
