I assume with things like curl_http_code and curl_speed_download they're
updated.

curlinfo appears to be the internal curl symbol, nothing to do with the app
name. This code is supposedly generic to multiple platforms, not RISC OS
specific. But the way this works is awkward for most - on most OSes
environment variables aren't shared, so you can't easily peek into another
process to find them. So in reality it is.
We already know of one !Curl.

I haven't tested it, but it does build (or rather it did about 18 months ago)
