It shouldn't be that hard. I've never understood why people are so fond of
such operations.

You can of course provide an API that is "general" to an extent, but you'd
still need to write specific code for each underlying library you support. It
was a while since I looked at neon in detail, but I recall it differing quite
a lot in how you operate it compared to libcurl.

I'll be happy to provide a link to your project, should you end up producing
anything you want to share!
