I think I might look into JNI (Java Native Methods). I should then be able
to access libcurl from JNI as long as I can get it compiled as a shared
object. Is there support for compiling libcurl as a dll yet in Windows
using VC6?

I would like to use the new "Java Web Start" API for controlling the
downloading and caching of the java app + components, and it supports
including native libraries too.
