Summary: -O and -L problem

Initial Comment:
When there is a moved location followed by -L and the
file name is different, the file is still saved as the
original file name. eg `curl -L -O http://foo.com/bar`
redirects to http://foo/other, the file is saved as
'bar' instead of 'other'. I think this is incorrect
behavior or should be an option for 'bar' or 'other'.

The documentation for -O explains this quite clearly:

"The remote file name to use for saving is extracted from
the given URL, nothing else."
