Holy cow that's a lot of work to do it this way.
A couple of alternatives:

- ditch curl_easy_escape :-( and use a
  malloc(strlen(x)*3)
  byte-by-byte copy from source string into destination
    if not [a-zA-Z0-9/.~] then %-escape

or:
- keep curl_easy_escape and postprocess
  byte-by-byte examine the result of curl_easy_escape
  - if seeing a "%2F", replace the % with a / and memmove the
    rest of the string 2 bytes ahead

It shouldn't need strtok or strstr or a lot of logic or stuff like
that really.
