I'm bummed to report that I also cannot find a single curl reference in the
octave tarball.  Looking around, I suspect this page was in play:

http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?action=browse&diff=1&id=OctaveForMac

It's easy enough to remove the curl reference.

There was also some discussion on by the octave developers about cURL, but it looks like it is not quite yet in 2.9.9. In the latest development CVS archive:
  http://velveeta.che.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/
under:
    octave/src/DLD-FUNCTIONS
you will find:
    urlwrite.cc
which uses cURL. It looks like it was added to the current development sources in Oct 2006. However, these sources are considered buggy and not for typical use (read:

   ftp://ftp.octave.org/pub/octave//bleeding-edge/README

for more information). Between the wiki page mentioned and the discussion I ran across on the maintainers site, I thought that the functionality was already in octave. Looks like it will be in a future development release.
