You can of course do this to change the behavior of your curl tool. I don't
want that change to get applied to the main source though, as I don't think
most people want to append by default and I don't approve of modified
behaviors without very good reasons! ;-)

If you would introduce a new option that would replace --output, which would
do this, then I'd be a happy man and probably go for adding this to the CVS
tree.
