At least the openmoko SHR distribution fetches ipkg from network and
requires curl support hence.

I do not think that supporting only offline mode (due to removal of
curl support) is a good idea.  Although the opportunistic signature
verification is not secure, it would be imo bad to remove gpg support
completely because updating embedded devices in a secure manner is
important.

A better way might be to conditionalize your '--disable-*' options
resp. make them depend on some DISTRO_FEATURE.
