 Because Curl does not have the functionality we need it to handle RTMP.
Curl is great for grabbing files, but sucks at anything really 
interactive. I looked at modifying Curl once, but adding RTMP preverts 
Curl's design, so why bother...

 I have 25 years experience in writing network code, including the 
networking code used in air traffic control software...  It's not "so
many things", it's one library. Replacing curl means Gnash will gain 
working RTMP support, and many other advantages.
