libcurl opens its own sockets normally. CURLOPT_LOCALPORT is used to make
libcurl bind the local end of the socket to a specific port.

Use the multi / multi_socket API to wait for sockets in your application and
use libcurl in a non-blocking fashion.

You'd use select(), curl_multi_wait() or an event based system with
multi_socket for that purpose.

We have examples showing all of those in use I believe.
