Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [comment:23 ryandesign]:
 > But the idea to use a bundled curl is much older, and is based on the
 idea that we should use the latest software, because it has more features
 and fixes bugs.

 Could we perhaps tackle this part -- bundle and link with a recent version
 of libcurl -- and postpone dealing with ssl issues? On older systems, we
 can link our bundled libcurl with the system's openssl library; on the
 newer systems that support it, we can use the `--with-darwinssl` configure
 flag to tell libcurl to use the macOS Secure Transport API.
