curl 7.11.0 through 7.12.2 when built from their official release
archives will present a 5 digit version number instead of the documented
6 digits which breaks the version check in the Makefile.
Correct these broken version numbers on the fly when extracting them to
ensure the comparison works correctly.

This was discoved while building on RHEL4 which has curl 7.12.1.
The makefile check for curl >= 7.34.0 failed and enabled
USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND.

# curl-config --vernum
70C01
# { echo 072200; curl-config --vernum 2>/dev/null ; } | sort -r | sed -ne 2p
072200
#

I checked the curl release tarballs and this problem seems to exist for
curl 7.11.0 (0x70B00) through 7.12.2 (0x70C02). In both 7.10.7 (0x070a07)
and 7.12.3 (0x070c03) the version is correctly set using 6 hex digits as
documented.
I tried to verify this using the official curl repo on github but it does
not seem to record this discrepancy and shows the correct 6 digit version
numbers for the affected releases.
