libcurl is easy to compile yourself, there's no need to wait for someone else
to do it...

That's not how I proceed to check for leaks.

I make the code run for N iterations and then exit, and then I let my tool of
choice (valgrind) tell me if there was any leaks.

In this case I let it loop 10 laps and nothing was reported. Just in case, I
also ran the test again 40 laps but no leaks then either. I'm doing my tests
on a 7.19.0 version.

Note also that we always check for memory leaks in the autobuilds that run on
numerous hosts and different operating systems on all test cases several times
a day. And they don't indicate any leak either.

So no, I can't see any memory leak with this app!
