Difference between curl and curl-apd

What is the difference between curl and curl-apd. The first is a 64bit executable and the latter is a 32bit. The man page for both points to the same page, their help screen appears to be identical, and i can't find anything in Google other than it was added in 11.4.1. I would like to understand the scenario's where i should use curl-apd instead of curl.

    Best I can tell, aside from 32 vs 64-bit, is the amount and type of features and protocols supported:

    [root@cleanbox:Active:Standalone] config  curl-apd --version
curl 7.25.0 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.25.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1e zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz

[root@cleanbox:Active:Standalone] config  curl --version
curl 7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 OpenSSL/1.0.1e zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps
Features: IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

    it is added in 11.4.1 to support pop3s, imap4s and smtps.
