As usual, -dev packages just make life worse for people and offer 
no real benefit. :/

If it's _really_ important that a curl binary is distributed with 
D, it should be built statically.  But I doubt it's actually THAT 
important.

Make it a proper dep and let the distro packagers do what they do 
best.  The --without-curl switch is a good idea, btw.
