I've done this on OS X using the command line and makefiles, but never
with XCode. Not sure how to do it in XCode, but if you can manually
add object files to link into your program, just put the full path to
the static library there. For example, if you installed your newer
version in /usr/local, then you would link in this file:

   /usr/local/lib/libcurl.a

This is standard gcc linking behavior.
