Comment (by RJVB):

 I've tweaked that `MacPorts-libcurl` port a bit, dropping some
 dependencies but adding `port:gss` so as to provide about the same
 features as my system libcurl on 10.9.5 also provides. (Why does
 `port:curl` *not* use the gss & kerberos5 ports but rather the libraries
 from the system, btw? I haven't followed that here.

 My `port:MacPorts-libcurl` (still at 8.7.1) :
 https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/tree/master/net/curl

 For completeness, my `port:libressl-co`:
 https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/tree/master/security/libressl

 First quick checks suggest that Pextlib just works when relinked against
 that new libcurl. I'll use the system as is for a while before I start
 looking at bundling Pextlib in a port.
