We could, but upstream say it's a pain to maintain because it gets in the
way of other things. So it's probably not something we want to maintain
because I sense upstream is going to put something in that breaks a patch.

If the maintainer of the GUI that uses it steps forward and says they're
willing to keep a patch up to date, then we could build with that patch I
suppose.

Unfortunately the commit in curl upstream that introduced it has no
indication of who originated it. so we're still in the dark.
I haven't dug through the curl mailing list history though.
