Comment (by kencu):

 Alternatively, I wonder if we might use a slightly altered version of
 this:

 https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/master/sysutils/MacPorts/Portfile

 that would build against {{{${prefix}/lib/libcurl}}}, to build a
 completely new version of {{{Pextlib.dylib}}} that is linked against
 {{{${prefix}/lib/libcurl}}}.

 Then we might rename and copy that one library into the base installation,
 and use it if it and libcurl exist.

 It would be better if the libcurl we used wss an isolated, custom version
 rather than macports main one, to avoid breakage, but ... every extra
 thing adds maintenance burden.
