I first installed cURL without SSL as per your instructions in your initial

===================================

2. You did './config --prefix=$HOME', and then HOME turned out to be
    "/home/USERID/modules/openssl-0.9.6b"

3. Then, just afterwards you do
    "./configure --with-ssl=$HOME --prefix=$HOME" in curl's directory, and
    then all of a sudden HOME is "/home/USERID" !!

That is correct. When I told openssl to install it in HOME it installed it
under modules/openssl-0.9.6b but when I told cURL to install at HOME it is
under /home/USERID. It's strange.
