Comment (by kencu):

 I would humbly suggest we just forget about the fancy new build system,
 and just build all of base using it's existing build system (and using the
 base source files downloaded in every macports install, why not?), against
 a newer libcurl (statically linking if that is possible).

 Then we just copy out Pextlib.dylib, rename it to something else, install
 it into the existing base install, and see what breaks.

 This seems 100x easier, at the cost of a trivial amount of building time.
