Now, I feel a bit silly since I can't remember exactly for who and why I did
this change. Is this a sign of me getting old? ;-)

Ok, let's do like this. We put it back and smile. Then, when or if we face
this reversed problem with someone who wants it removed, then we write up a
configure hack to detect that case. I'll add a comment to the Makefile.am
saying precisely this.

In good old curl numbering, the next patch release will be named 7.10.1.

I have received and made a bunch of changes, sure, but none of them are so
vital or important that they must be released immediately to the world.
They're just parts of the continous stream of fixing going in.

I prefer to wait until I get a certain amount of fixes in, or very important
or big fixes, before I release the next one. This moment has not come yet.
