Hello,

I think I've found a small bug in the build script for curl, 7.28.1. I'm also fairly sure I know what's wrong, but I'm not sure where to fix it.

I'm trying to build libcurl with just http/https support to make statically linking it in a program Im working on less painless. I believe the problem is at a certain point the build script doesn't link -lssl and -lcrypto (I've gone into the src directory and issued a fixed command and it worked), but I'm not really familiar with build processes outside of very vanilla make files, so fixing is proving difficult.

Thanks for your time,
Joe
