Unfortunately, this is bad on systems that set link_all_deplibs=yes
like darwin. curl-config and libcurl.pc now don't list any dependent
libraries since they use @LIBS@, which causes linking to fail for
packages that depend on libcurl.

Actually, I see that libcurl.pc has been broken for a while, since
@LIBS@ is being passed to Libs.private and so don't appear with "pkg-
config --libs libcurl". Arguably, this is a bug in pkg-config, which
should merge Libs.private with Libs on darwin, but that doesn't
change the fact that libcurl.pc is currently useless. :)
