But what do curl-config --libs and --cflags tell you? Don't you need to let
your linker know where the curl lib is?

Uh, you have both installed using the same name?

They do nothing magic, they use the compiled and built curl tool. It gets
built as src/curl, the test suite runs the perl script tests/runtests.pl and
all tests are using almost-XML format in tests/data, one file for each test.

The point being that curl links fine, and when ran configure to get the setup
fine for curl, that used config is stored in the curl-config tool to enable
you to use the exact same compiler and linker switches easily.
