Attached is a patch file which has a couple of modifications
against version 7.9.7 to make it posible to disable certain protocols.
The setup.h is especially interesting (as Daniel suggested)
because here you can place the various DISABLE_xxxx defines
to control what to be disabled:
/* #define HTTP_ONLY
*/
#ifdef HTTP_ONLY
#define DISABLE_FTP
#define DISABLE_LDAP
#define DISABLE_TELNET
#define DISABLE_DICT
#define DISABLE_FILE
#define DISABLE_GOPHER
#endif

There are a copule of advantages of these modifications:
(1) The resulting code could be made smaller when disabling unwanted
protocols.
(2) Disabling unused features may improve the security of your
application. This is a general security guidelines for system admins.
(3) Some features could not be compiled on some platforms (eg ldap on
libc5 Linux boxes),
and by disabling them you may compile libcurl on such platforms.
