 Replying to [comment:124 RJVB]:
 > My git-fu isn't so good that I can tell you how best to split the
 pextlib subdir into its own repo (maintaining the commit history and all)
 and then make it a submodule, but I'm sure you can google that.

 Of course that's not even necessary, because

 that CMake file in `src/pextlib1.0` can also just be handed to CMake if
 the rest of the source tree is there too.


 The question that hasn't been (re)addressed is how really old and crippled
 system libcurl versions are going to fetch the required files to bootstrap
 the full-fledged Pextlib (install the 2 ports and all their dependencies,
 possibly from source).
