Thanks. As I said, the kosher way to learn how to link with libcURL is by asking curl-config about the details of options to give to the compiler and the linker, so I am all for this change. > While writing this up I also noticed an issue with the second patch, > namely that `curl-config --static-libs` is empty when curl is not > built for static linking. > > I will reroll with a more detailed commit message and a fix to the second > patch. I love it whenever I see the contents of the patch improved after spending a bit more time trying to describe the problem and the solution (which is time worth spending).
