I updated curl.1 which I'd been editing to 7.27.0 and it's release
date but didn't see any changes for the other file.

are there any other documentation files that you'd like me to look over?

also, could you add libmetalink / https://launchpad.net/libmetalink
to http://curl.haxx.se/docs/libs.html ?
