That name is carved in stone and simply won't change. Ever. Even if perhaps it
would make sense, yes. We work hard at remaining compatible with our past.

The thing is that library names on *nix are traditionally "lib" + name and
thus the name part is the actual name and "lib" just a prefix saying it is a
lib. Thus libcurl is the curl library and that's why we have lots of name
confusion in the curl (and libcurl!) project! ;-)

And of course, this is the curlpp list so discussions about actual libcurl
details are not really suitable here. Take those to the curl-library list!
