That would be docs/INSTALL I guess. If you're not used to building stuff from
source I guess it can be a bit of a learning curve as we kind of assume that.

First, you can still build and use OpenSSL if you want, but you can also build
libcurl to use Mac OS X's native SSL library with configure's --with-darwinssl
option.

libcurl supports 10(!) different SSL backends, and I think about 7 or 8 of
them can be made to work on Mac OS X.

I suspect that's the same thing we refer to as darwinssl, but I'm not really
the expert on the topic.
