Okey, the Makefile magic in the curl package is automake stuff. I received
patches that brought libtool support to the makefiles. I willingly admit I am
no automake nor libtool guru. I wasn't really aware that it forced linking
against a static binary.

I had a go at changing it and it should now do right I hope. Apply the
attached src/Makefile.am patch or just replace the src/Makefile.in with the
attached one!

I'll be waiting for some comments on this...!
