Comment (by kencu):

 well the focus at the moment is not really who can come up with the
 leanest minimalcurl port, or even which ssl backend has the fewest deps.

 it really is : can the idea work?

 Can we build and insert a new Pextlib into base (this part should be easy
 enough) ?

 Can we rewrite the TCL code in base to use the new library, if it exists,
 in a way that works reliably and Josh can accept (this is the million
 dollar question)?
