Thanks. I'm wondering if there might be a solution to please both sides.
Could the stuff in curlbuild.h/curlrules.h be wrapped in ifdefs such
that someone in my position could override the checks by simply
asserting "I know the answers and here they are"? I.e. something like

#if !defined(CURL_SIZEOF_CURL_OFF_T)
#endif

and

#if !defined(CURL_SIZEOF_LONG)
#endif
