This is where things were breaking. The test for 6 arguments
was failing and configure was unable to determine the number of
arguments.

It turns out that my /etc/hosts 'localhost' entry was broken.
Since the test case quite reasonably expects localhost to resolve,
it failed. Fixing /etc/hosts and rebuilding solved the problem.

Cool, I can use curl! Now to build with SSL support..

Thanks for sending me your configure output - it put me on the
right track.
