Trouble building NSS variant

Hi,

I'm having trouble building the NSS variant (both from git and 7.37.1):

This on Debian with gcc-4.9.

Manually passing "-lnspr4 -lplds4" (or the output of pkg-config --libs nss) to
the above command resolves the problem.

The configure command is simply "./configure --without-ssl --with-nss". Setting
"link_all_deplibs" to "yes" for linux in configure works as well, but there
doesn't seem to be any ./configure option for doing that automatically (also it
seems overkill, since only the NSS libraries are needed).

Maybe the code in the "#ifdef USE_NSS" in src/tool_main.c should be moved to
Curl_nss_cleanup() to avoid having the curl binary itself link to all the
$(LIBCURL_LIBS).

There's also the chance that I'm doing something wrong, but the Debian package
build, which works for previous releases, broke because of this, so I imagine
others may have the same problem as well.

Cheers
