We can agree on this, and others in this thread have said as much as
well.  I've also mentioned that I've been poking at a new curl binding
since last November.  Funnily enough, it's a mix of a
monolithic/polymorphic setOpt() method and where appropriate,
setSomeSpecificThing() methods.

When I get it to a stable point I'll toss it on github.
