Is there an updated patch on this?
I've looked at the surrounding code now and while I don't read R very
well, I think the existing diff is ok (R itself already depends on curl
so no new dep). Seems a bit strange that they'd go out of their way to
avoid trying to autodetect libcurl except on named OS but *shrug*

Thanks Stuart. I'll test and commit this evening.

Ack. An altogether simpler patch would be to have secureDownloadMethod()
always return "libcurl", since we already know for certain that libcurl
is available.
That's unlikely to have a chance at being upstreamed, though ;-)
