 We already don’t support 10.4 through 10.7. We try not to actively break
 things on those systems if we can help it, and some of us go to great
 lengths to keep ports working, but it’s all best-effort and not at all
 guaranteed.

 MacPorts does not use the `curl(1)` executable. It links to the system
 libcurl and calls into it directly.
