This "ifeq" is redundant and will never set CURL_LIBCURL to empty
without running the "else" part, I think.  In a Makefile, a variable
explicitly set to empty and a variable that is unset are treated the
same.

        $ cat >Makefile <<EOF
        CURL_CONFIG ?= curl-config
        ifeq "$(CURL_CONFIG)" ""
                X=Empty
        else
                X=NotEmpty
        endif

        ifdef "$(CURL_CONFIG)"
                Z=Defined
        else
                Z=Undefined
        endif

        all::
                @echo "$(X) $(Z)"
        EOF
        $ make -f Makefile CURL_CONFIG=""
        Empty Undefined

That does not mean the patch will give us a broken behaviour,
though.  It just means the ifeq/else part will be redundant.

This will catch the "$(shell $(CURL_CONFIG) --libs) assigned an
empty string to CURL_LIBCURL" case, so the result is good.

I haven't checked what it would look like if we turn this into an
incremental patch to be applied on top of 'master' (which would give
us a place to document better why we do not rely on the presense of
curl-config), but if we can do so, that would be more preferable
than having to revert the merge of the previous one and then
applying these two patches anew.

Thanks.
