-libcurl can be built to use the NSS libraries for SSL/TLS. Invoke configure
---without-ssl --with-nss.
-
-The source code in lib/nss.c currently cause a compiler warning due to the
-lack of a prototype. The prototype is provided by the public header provided
-by NSS called "base64.h". But since we use a private header in libcurl named
-identically, we cannot include the NSS one.
-
-This problem persists because:
-
-* NSS doesn't use a properly established separate subdir for their include
-  files. Instead different distros have put them in /usr/include/nss and
-  /usr/include/nss3 etc.
-
-* The pkg-config output for NSS provides a full -I path to the nss include dir,
-  so we cannot #include <nss/base64.h> or <nss3/base64.h>. This too may be due
-  to how distros do it.
-
-* I tried getting the (all new in June 2008) NSS 3.12 tarball to check how it
-  behaves out-of-box but this wouldn't even build - complaining on missing
-  files that aren't included in the tarball. The tarball doesn't even include
-  build instuctions but you must hunt them down on their web site.
-
-Due to these design problems we may of course get further similar problems in
-the future, but I hope we can work them out somehow along the way.
