Comment (by kencu):

 to get past the somewhat onerous deps to build and install curl for the
 {{{/opt/bootstrap}}} installation as time has gone by, I came up with this
 "minimalcurl" port that I have been using the past few years.

 ​https://github.com/kencu/macports-ports/blob/curl-
 minimal/net/minimalcurl/Portfile

 It has minimal deps, as few as I can manage anyway, and last I checked,
 the only system that required a compiler installation into
 {{{/opt/bootstrap}}} was Tiger.
