Can you make it a standalone binary instead to avoid bloat of the
main "git" binary?

Sure. This would fix some other issues (needing to link against curl to
get the curl version, which is exactly what you implied).

Hmph, I actually was not thinking about the cURL library.  

I imagined that your tool may need to learn more about the system in
order to make the report and for that there may be libraries that
makes it easy than say reading directly from the /proc filesystem
etc. that you may end up using.  Unlike cURL, such a library would
have no use in the rest of Git anywhere.
