As the AIX Toolbox RPM for Curl is getting very long in the teeth
(it's at 7.9.3 still) I'm providing a tentative patch to add a new
spec file to generate AIX RPMs for AIX Toolbox. It generates RPMs
that are drop-in replacements for the curl RPMs found on the AIX 5x
Toolbox CD or at ftp.software.ibm.com.

Note that a) I'm no RPM/spec expert at all, so I've just clobbered together
a version based on the Linux versions as well as IBM's original spec file,
and b) Although I have included Makefile.am updates etc. I have not tested
how the configure part works out, I have merely built, installed and tested
RPMs by using the provided curl.spec.in file directly (with @VERSION@
expanded).

(I'm rushing this a bit in the hope of getting it included in 7.15.3..)

+ for AIX Toolbox
+
+Author: Tor Arntsen
+
+The spec file in this directory is based on the Linux ssl and non-ssl
+curl spec files, plus additions to make it AIX Toolbox compatible.
+
+The AIX Toolbox setup (installs into /opt/freeware, with symlinks in
+/usr/bin,/usr/lib,/usr/include) are based on IBM's aixtoolbox spec
+file written by David Clissold <cliss a t austin.ibm.com>, see
+
+ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aixtoolbox/SPECS/curl-7.9.3-2.spec
+
+This spec file is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the
+old spec file found at the above link. Thus, like the old spec file
+this version is also a unified ssl/non-ssl version. To get non-ssl
+RPMs just pass --define 'nossl 1' to the command line when building
+the RPM, e.g.
+
+rpm -bb --define 'nossl 1' curl.spec
+
+Default is to build with ssl support.
+
+Lastly, the spec file expects the Curl source distribution file to be
+in .tar.bz2 format.
+
+The nifty cURL header of this README is a ripoff of the vms/readme file.
