When you #include <curl/curl.h> you already get following defines:

CURL_SIZEOF_LONG
CURL_SIZEOF_CURL_OFF_T
CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T
CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_TU

Proper format for size_t can be derived from that and a sizeof(size_t)
check in whatever source needs it.

sizeof(size_t) > CURL_SIZEOF_LONG -> use CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T
otherwise
use %ld

If compiler warnings in examples aren't important, I suppose it
doesn't even justify modification (addition) of external API symbols
to curl.h via curlbuild.h
