Hello,

while trying to hack something on the NSS support in libcurl, I spotted that
the check for PK11_CreateGenericObject() is not placed at the optimal location
in configure.ac. The check runs before the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS are set
properly.

I guess that now is the time to reconsider whether it is still actually
useful. The function PK11_CreateGenericObject() is available in NSS libraries
for 5 years already. I doubt that somebody still runs any older version of
NSS without facing a serious security issues. Moreover, running libcurl on
top of such ancient version of NSS would bring a lot of memory leaks and
crashes.

Is anybody against dropping the check for PK11_CreateGenericObject()?
