Perhaps something like this:

1. convert the string to the correct CURLOPT_*

2. pass in the void * if the CURLOPT_ wants a pointer that you know how to
create, or convert it to a long and pass that in if it wants a long.

3. then handle the few special cases separately

Not all options make sense to handle like this though, like for example the
FUNCTIONPOINT ones.
