Public include files for libcurl, external users.
They are all placed in the curl subdirectory here for better fit in any kind of environment. You must include files from here using...
#include <curl/curl.h>
... style and point the compiler's include path to the directory holding the curl subdirectory. It makes it more likely to survive future modifications.
The public curl include files can be shared freely between different platforms and different architectures.
Curl must be statically compiled, and to keep the library as small as possible, we need to remove all the not-needed extra functionalities.
