Hmph, I actually was not thinking about the cURL library.  

I imagined that your tool may need to learn more about the system in
order to make the report and for that there may be libraries that
makes it easy than say reading directly from the /proc filesystem
etc. that you may end up using.  Unlike cURL, such a library would
have no use in the rest of Git anywhere.
