After the Sylvestre's remark, please note that, like it is presented on 
the curl main webpage,
and like Scilab,

/ Curl is free and open software 
<http://curl.haxx.se/docs/copyright.html> that compiles and runs under a 
wide variety of operating systems.
Curl exists thanks to efforts from many contributors 
<http://curl.haxx.se/docs/thanks.html>. /

Therefore, you can freely instal it on your machine, and use it through 
the unix() scilab's command.
So, back-compatibility cannot be a concern.

Cheers
Samuel
