I am currently using a separate multi handle for each easy handle in order
to keep things simple. Using one multi handle becomes a little more
complicated because I would need my own map of CURL* -> user data. (I don't
see a way to store such information in the CURLM that would be available
from curl_multi_info_read().)

Anyway, it's now working nicely. It was painless to create a thin OO
wrapper and integrate into our middleware. Thanks for the API advice.
