The use of -L/usr/lib is incorrect as it is not consistent with
the include search path. For some reason, CURL_CONFIG seems to be
set to /usr/bin/curl-config, though "which curl-config" outputs
/opt/local/bin/curl-config (that's a bug since it can lead to
inconsistent paths), and there's a bug in /usr/bin/curl-config
too:

prunille:~> /usr/bin/curl-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lcurl -lssl -lcrypto -lz
^^^^^^^^^^
This shouldn't be there.

I have one in /opt/local and this prefix is included in my various
path environment variables.
