We're starting to maintain an internal cross-compiled port for libcurl and

script.
Cool! I'm sure you might end up needing to fix the scripts a bit to get that
going.
When checking for features, is the intent that these are checked on the
client or that the client and the host have the same feature set available?
Okay with this terminology:
client - the machine that runs curl
host - the machine that runs the test suite
... the script should only care about the features of the client's curl
installation. I don't think the host should even have to have curl installed.
It seems like curl -version is run on the client, but server/disabled and
curl -M (for manual support check) is currently run on the host.
I'd say that's a result of us basically never running it on host/client like
this so these mistakes can easily slip in without us noticing!
