Well, yes. I guess you can't take just any libcurl.dll - it has to be
built against the same crt as the python you are going to be using it
with.

Which means including libcurl.dll in pycurl packages now sounds like a
very good idea.

Luckily I already wrote code to convert WRITEDATA to WRITEFUNCTION
options for python 3 which no longer exposes python files as C FILE
pointers. That same code can be used on python 2, but with a
performance penalty compared to giving libcurl a FILE pointer I would
imagine.

What's wrong with test_write_to_file_via_function? That one should work.
