I haven't checked how the PHP code is made, but assuming that they just pass
on the URL to libcurl it should "Just Work" as your new libcurl will then
support SCP:// and Sftp:// URLs and thus so should the PHP curl binding.

Possibly the main obstacle you'll find is that your libcurl version bump will
change soname number of the libcurl.so file so you may need to do a symlink
from the old number to the new.

I don't see how it would.

Oh certainly, you can build curl with configure --prefix to install in a
totally separate place and you can have as many installations as you like next
to each other in parallell!

That sounds strange!
