my system is:
  Linux burp 2.2.16 #6 Sun Jul 2 14:37:51 CEST 2000 i486 unknown
  debian potato 2.2 (frozen)
  autoconf 2.13
  automake 1.4
  curl 7.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.1

i made ./configure --without-ssl. here at home everything seems to work
correctly.

yes, it seems it doesn't worth it, i know, but i'm still packaging libcurl,
libcurl-dev and curl separately. apt does the hard work to find and download
everything for only 0.005 bogomips more.

if i could decide if curl is ssl or no-ssl only by installing the ssl or
no-ssl libcurl...

as far as curl is concerned, does it know something about ssl or delegates
everything to lib curl? (yeah, i already asked this question, but i think
the answer was ot.) :)
