curl-library

building TOT curl on OS X 10.2 (no upgrades required)

It's possible I've got something installed that isn't on the standard
developer install, but the instructions about Mac OS X in CVS-INFO
appear out of date for OS X 10.2. That file suggests installing
several packages on OS X via 'fink' to get building. We manage to
build (an admittedly old version of) curl here at Apple using our own
installed libtool (or maybe glibtool?). I'm not sure how we built
'curl' for OS X 10.1, but maybe our older versions of auto* worked for
curl-7.7.2 (!).

In particular on OS X 10.2, I was able to get everything in 'buildconf'
to run except 'automake -a' which complained:
scs:curl/=> automake -a || echo bad
packages/Win32/cygwin/Makefile.am:24: `#' comment at start of rule is
unportable
packages/Win32/cygwin/Makefile.am:31: `#' comment at start of rule is

bad

Nonetheless, I had a 'configure' script which ran. 'make' worked fine
and 'make test' passed 87/87 tests (some were skipped due to
netrc_debug not being available). I note that as of OS X 10.2, the
versions of autoconf, automake, libtool, and m4 are all within the
specs of CVS-INFO.

I'll test a stock 10.2 + developer tools install and make sure
everything is okay there too and then mail an appropriate patch for the
CVS-INFO file to the list.
