This is intentional; there are some complex situations where it's useful
to have curl development libraries for multiple architectures installed
at once, and moving the headers to a multiarch location is part of
supporting that.  You should use pkg-config (e.g. "pkg-config --cflags
libcurl") to detect the options you need to pass to the compiler;
similarly "pkg-config --libs libcurl" for the linker.

Yes, you want one of these three depending on which SSL implementation
you want; if I remember correctly, this is for some unfortunate licence
compatibility reasons.
