Last I checked (10.3) Apple's curl was configured without crypto
support. That would mean https: URLs won't work if 'curl' is
/usr/bin/curl and the redirects go to other https: URLs. Does
installing fink's curl (package is "curl-unified" or "curl-ssl") solve
the problem? OTOH, we don't use https Source URLs for precisely this
reason.
