I've been peeking at libcurl which implements an optional callback
every time a block of data is received on the socket. This allows
you to write your own callback to route the data block.  So we could
initiate a download, and have a callback write the received blocks 
to multiple destinations at once - in my case, to the file system and
the requesting apt-get client.
