I wonder how much functionality is missing with out libcurl?
I believe it's pretty important (but might be wrong). But if
configuration is tripping over curl at the command line that doesn't
necessarily mean there's a problem for git with libcurl linked in.
No, the configuration is looking specifically for libcurl. I am sure
that I saw a report on openvms.org or comp.os.vms that someone has
ported it to VMS. What I do not know is if it was done in a way that a
GNV build environment can easily use.
The configuration is apparently just disabling some features when it
does not find libcurl.
I would expect that libcurl is needed for http:/ftp: access to a
repository, which is something that we probably need for Perl.
I will look into this some more once I get gnu tar 1.19 packaged up for
Alpha.
