Experiment with using the curl tool instead of the library.

Right now we do the proper thing and use the libcurl library to perform POST requests. However, although this is "safer" in theory, it comes at a major cost of build problems. Trying to get another app to link with this wrapper is incredibly difficult, because that app needs to include a compiled libcurl lib, set preprocessor headers, and more.
What happens if we simply switch to executing curl directly? That would make the library much more portable, since every system can install curl.

Turns out this should be unnecessary. We just need to make the project not depend on VS 2013.
