The big change for this release is porting the backend over to using
libcurl/pycurl. It took a fair bit of work to preserve the existing
urlgrabber api and make things sane/behave with pycurl.

Hello Seth,
I might have missed an email, but why the backend change to pycurl?  I
saw James Anthill mention a curl-based backend a few weeks ago, but I
never saw a discussion on the change.

Just curious what's coming down the pike...


two major reasons:

1. linking to nss instead of openssl so we'll be FIPS certified
2. hopefully fixing a bunch of proxy issues and https/http mix-match issues
3. giving a place to go for new features.
