Well, they are already in separate files and I have no intention of changing
that. I mean in the lib/config-*.h files.

What I would like to see fixed in this suggested new approach, is how we can
produce a fine curl/config.h file on all possible targets so that we won't
have to install any unrelated config header files on any systems.

Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to have it universally automated.
There's still people that for example build libcurl using MSVC project files,
and I doubt we can make those generate a suitable curl/config.h file.

I'll need to ponder about this some more. Unless someone reading this has some
good ideas to provide!
