    Oscar,

In the download is a makefile to make a libcurl.framework. This is what we
use. So we distribute our application and link to the framework sitting
next to it.

This is what I would recommend. The other thing is if you need backward
compatibility then you will want to master on 10.2.8. So the libssl links
properly. Or have enough unix skills to install the old ssl libs, which I
do not.

Hope that helps,
