On most unix systems (those with shared library support), the default build
makes 'src/curl' file a shell script that first sets up suitable environment
variables for ld.so to make it find the just built libcurl shared library and
then it invokes the _actual_ curl binary (in src/curl/.libs/curl).

When you 'make install', it installs the files properly without that shell
script magic. Or if you build configure --disable-shared the shell script
stuff is never used either.
