 Thanks a lot! That's a good solution.

 The last phase of `sudo make install` (`./src/images_to_archives.tcl`)
 failed several times because some of my installed packages had wrong
 tarlists, and the error messages were not very informative. I had to
 reinstall these, and everything went fine afterwards. Maybe there's a way
 to skip that phase if it's not necessary?

 I wish the `port` command could issue a warning that it's using the
 system's outdated openssl/curl, and link to those special instructions to
 build from source with the `--with-curlprefix` option. Or at least make
 this a FAQ. Seeing the number of Cc: on this ticket, this seems to be
 affecting a number of users.

 The real issues will come when even curl cannot be downloaded using the
 system's curl, but as long as pre-built packages are available (thanks
 again Ken) we're fine.
