Link libraries must be listed *AFTER* all object files and static
libraries.  So the following should work instead:

gcc -L/usr/local/lib -shared ../../shared/htmlparse/htmlparse.o
../../shared/wwwfetch/wwwfetch.o ../shared/free.o key.o -o key.so
`curl-config --libs`

Note that -lcurl isn't enough here, since curl depends on other
libraries (namely, from openssl-devel and zlib).

BTW, the Cygwin convention is to use the extenstion .dll for shared
libraries (except for Ruby modules, for reasons unknown to me).
