Yes, I can see that assumption may not always hold. But I'm slightly
surprised this worked in the first place; are you saying this is a
system where:
-curl-config is not installed
-but -lcurl still works
-without setting CURLDIR
?

I think I should probably re-roll the patch to default to the old
behavior (blind -lcurl) if curl-config returns the empty string, which
I believe is also the case when the binary is not found.
