Ok, I'll keep it in utils. 

I am hoping we can develop an API to make
sure all modules that use CURL use one CURL library binding. When
we have that, we can convert http_query too.

I'll just rename my current version to something else while waiting for the API
to be developed.

Daniel Stenberg points me in that unified APi usage when discussing
binding to CURL from many modules in a multiprocess app. He wasn't
too happy over us linking many modules to the CURL library.
