BTW, I've already the necessary changes (building "miniperl" and
OpenSSL) to the bootstrap in my queue to add HTTPS support to cURL (the
one in the bootstrap package, not the standalone package). I'm planning
to commit this soon, so CURRENT will soon have HTTPS support in cURL and
OpenPKG 2.6 then will have it, too. For OpenPKG 2.5 we cannot do it as
the changes are too large to be MFC'ed.
