It is not that simple. Well, I remember you taking part in 
https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10710 so you 
should be aware of it. It is not about version number of curl but 
about transitive dependency - openssl vs gnutls.

We can say "you must have this version of libcurl built with this 
flags" but it is not much different from saying "use Debian-likes 
or get out".
