I've seen a couple threads about the arch-specific curlbuild.h file and its
affect on multilib distributions (such as Linux x86-64/i686) which I
discovered when Fedora recently upgraded me.

Typically, arch-specific headers belong in arch-specific locations. In the
typical Linux distro, this would be /usr/lib/packagename/include/headers.h

I would like to alter installation so that the arch-neutral headers go to
$includedir/curl, and the arch-specific files to $libdir/curl/include.

I'm less clear on what to do about curl-config. pkgconfig uses different
directories for each arch, e.g. /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/lib64/pkgconfig.
Some options are:

* port curl to use pkg-config instead of a curl-config binary
* move curl-config to $libdir/curl/curl-config
* Somehow make curl-config multi-arch aware, perhaps by accepting a --prefix
option. I'm not sure how to do this one

I'm happy to write the necessary patches (except for the last option, which
I'm not sure how to do).
