Initial patch

Some RSS rely on HTTP basic auth (and not cookies) to control access.
Attached patch allows libcurl to read .netrc if present.

Should this become a visible configuration option ?
If so, should I also expose .netrc path (CURL_NETRC_FILE) ?

Hi, this is a good idea, thanks! Sometimes it might be better than including user:password@ in the URL.

Patch committed.
