1st of all thanks for your further work on it.
I though believe that adding pkg.m4 to curl is not an option due to the
GPL license it falls under - AFAICT that is not what we want to have in
our sources.
Also Yang has now coded a workaround, and already commited (and I
believe that his approach works - as usual); so lets see what next
autobuilds now show:
http://curl.haxx.se/dev/builds.html
and I assume that most likely the issue is already solved with
Yang'spatch ...

greets, Gün.
