What was meant was probably that the callback must be 'cdecl'.
Since libcurl probably cannot be compiled with MSVC and 'fastcall'
globally, all user-callbacks must also be 'cdecl'

But the callbacks should IMHO be decorated correctly.
In <curl/curl.h> do something like:

#ifndef __cdecl
#define __cdecl
#endif

typedef size_t (__cdecl *curl_write_callback)(char *buffer,
                                      size_t size,
                                      size_t nitems,
                                      void *outstream);
