Sorry for being unclear. I just meant to say that is probably not terribly 
important to let users be able to set the boundary string. We never had that 
option in (lib)curl and the only people who ever asked for it only did that 
because they didn't fully grasp what it is and how it works...

And of course this is just my personal opinion.
