extend fetchURL() if allow_url_fopen=off

[GoogleCodeExporter]

some ext. hoster set allow_url_fopen=off so file_get_contents($url) isn't 
working. instead of let the user override these func add something simply like

    function fetchURL($url) {
        if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen')) {
            return file_get_contents($url);
        } elseif (function_exists('curl_init')) {
            $curlObj = curl_init($url);
            curl_setopt($curlObj, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
            curl_setopt($curlObj, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
            $content = curl_exec($curlObj);
            curl_close($curlObj);
            return $content;
        } else {
            die('Error');
        } 
    }

Most shared webhosting services disable file_get_contents(). Please use the 
CURL method.

Thanks.
