Patch 1

Hey,

Because i find it a bit strange (and unnecessary) to use Python to communicate with http, i replaced the python stuff with libcurl.
Libcurl is a powerful communication library for c/c++. Unfortunately libcurl doesn't really works well with mingw. But we should use cygwin for robolab anyway, so i use cygwin (and i also added a visual studio project) for Windows.
Also I added a makefile for all operating systems for easy compile.
Unfortunately i don't have a OSX system, so i can not build a libcurl library for Mac, so someone would have to compile it for OSX and add the static library to "curl/libs/darwin"
Here is a tutorial how that work: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/install.html. 
The makefile is already configured for OSX.

I hope you are interested in this, otherwise i just use it myself :)
