I'm a huge fan of darcs being more verbose when it's needed.  I think
regardless of what happens with libcurl we should strive to have more
"debugging verbosity" in darcs.

Also, what happens to all the special interaction people can currently
have with the way darcs does HTTP?  IIRC, right now you can pass
things such as proxy information to darcs via environment variables.
Would we still have that without libcurl and wget?
