It looks all very minor. Let's not concern outselves.

As a ha ha funny moment to share I did see this :

alpha$
alpha$ curl -4 -v -L --url
'https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/grep/grep-3.4.tar.xz' -O
ld.so.1: curl: fatal: relocation error: file
/usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4: symbol ENGINE_load_builtin_engines:
referenced symbol not found
Killed
alpha$

However I was stupidly using a previous curl on my PATH which requires
OpenSSL with all the ENGINES enabled. ./lib/vtls/openssl.c clearly has
/**
 * Global SSL init
 *
 * @retval 0 error initializing SSL
 * @retval 1 SSL initialized successfully
 */
static int Curl_ossl_init(void)
{
  OPENSSL_load_builtin_modules();

#ifdef USE_OPENSSL_ENGINE
  ENGINE_load_builtin_engines();
#endif

.
.
.

etc and I went and built OpenSSL with all hardware engines disabled.

To make a long story short I just spent 45 minutes trying to figure out
why curl was having a fit at me when in fact I was running the wrong
curl binary.

Sometimes these things happen.

Thank you for curl and the tee-shirt. Which I have.
