If you check the docos for PHP4 it states that CURL is supported and you need to recompile php with '--with-curl=' except the configure script ignores this and if you search for 'curl' in any of the php source it's not found:

ie 'find /usr/src/php-4.0.1pl2 -exec grep -i "curl" {} \;' only the word 'curly' will showup (in reference to curly brackets).

Ignoring this and compiling anyway wont give you any of the curl lib fuctions, ie "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_version() in /home/user/public_html/something.php"

Am i missing something or is this a bug?

Actually, there is a bit of a gap sometimes between
software releases and manual updates.

Each of the curl function references are marked
'CVS Only', this just doesn't appear in the
curl intro.

In the meantime, you can grab a snapshot from
snaps.php.net, it works fine. It will be in the
upcoming 4.0.2 release.
