     On topic:
     Is there any convenient way to use SPSS read a data file directly from
     a URL?  I'm thinking of something like:
     
     get file = "http://www.myspssdatafiles/GSS2004.sav"; .
     

It would be very easy to implement, if we link with libcurl.  Let's
add it as a feature which get's automatically compiled in if autoconf
detects that libcurl is available.
