We don't use curl for any SSH stuff at present.  Zooko has requested
it but now that we have the darcs transfer mode stuff implemented,
I don't think it makes sense to complicate matters by trying to use it.
And we have darcs transfer-mode that provides SSH connection sharing,
but that's not curl-related, just plain old invocation of the ssh
command.

There is the HTTP pipelining feature that we use, which is indeed a
performance issue.
