Libcurl is the only one I frequently use that seem to take it seriously, there might be others but frustratingly few will indicate what level of binary compatibility they guarantee, it would be nice to have a list of reliable libraries. Not just for binary compatability but I would be nice to know how much churn you can expect with any given library.

On the other hand, considering the state of the software industry with relation to privacy (including some open source products) running software from arbitrary sources is becoming less and less viable anyway, I'm not sure it's a problem worth fixing.
