Comment:

 Thank you for pointing me to that libcurl mailing list post. What I got
 out of it is that as of curl 7.19.0 the curlbuild.h header can be
 different on different systems, and this is how the developer likes it
 because it fixes other problems he had. And while we may only need to
 change a few defines today, this may change in tomorrow's version of
 libcurl. I'm not prepared to, for every new version of curl, configure for
 each architecture and manually compare the headers to see how they differ,
 so I'll have to look for an automated solution, maybe the merge()
 function, maybe the new merge-universal portgroup.
