Thanks, Kjetil.

I had some rouge libcurl libraries that curl-config didn't now about the
make file seems to have been able to find. The pycurl build needed the
path to curl-config but didn't seem to use the information it returned.
Odd.

I knew there was a problem with the libcurl versioning because when I
tried to directly import libcurl it would fail but then I could import
pycurl without errors.

In any case, I blew away all old .so, rebuilt everything and it's
working like a charm now.

Thanks, again.
