find out in the dynamic library loader's man page ld(1) or so, which
environment variable carries a load-path for .so files. it might me
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_RUN_PATH, and make it contain the directory name
of where libcurl.so.0 is situated. like so:

#!/bin/sh
export PATH="/your/dir/curl/bin:$PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/your/dir/curl/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
curl ${1+"$@"}

if you put this into a little script...
