gnupg seems to use a very small subset of curl and the curl_shim that it 
provides covers what's need in a very basic manner (including handling 
proxy setups).  I would guess (after a cursory look) that we would lose 
better error handling and performance for the gpgkeys_curl command line 
interface.

I think that acceptable.
