Thanks. Unfortunately I don't see a clean solution for this. The
setup.py script uses curl-config to determine which ssl implementation
curl has been built against and that information isn't available from
pkg-config.

It's probably fixable with some surgery, but I'm not sure it's worth
the maintenance effort just so we can disable curl binconfig...

Please drop my "curl: disable curl-config binconfig file" patch.
