Thanks for checking that out. Only now our curl package is not consistent
with the openpkg package. Not nice, but maybe necessary.

I partially agree, but I assume that the author might have put the C++ check
in for some reason. It mentions something about this (building cURL's C code
with a C++ compiler) in the cURL docs.

It would be nice to just do CPP="${l_cc} -E" there, but an additional
problem is that the configure script picks up CPP when checking on 'cc', but
not when checking on 'c++'.
