NOTE FOR LIBCURL HACKERS
-The following notes apply to libcurl version 7.19.0 and later.
-
-* The distributed curl/curlbuild.h file is only intended to be used on systems
- which can not run the also distributed configure script.
-
-* The distributed curlbuild.h file is generated as a copy of curlbuild.h.dist
- when the libcurl source code distribution archive file is originally created.
-
* If you check out from git on a non-configure platform, you must run the
- appropriate buildconf* script to set up curlbuild.h and other local files
- before being able of compiling the library.
-
-* On systems capable of running the configure script, the configure process
- will overwrite the distributed include/curl/curlbuild.h file with one that
- is suitable and specific to the library being configured and built, which
- is generated from the include/curl/curlbuild.h.in template file.
-
-* If you intend to distribute an already compiled libcurl library you _MUST_
- also distribute along with it the generated curl/curlbuild.h which has been
- used to compile it. Otherwise the library will be of no use for the users of
- the library that you have built. It is _your_ responsibility to provide this
- file. No one at the curl project can know how you have built the library.
-
-* File curl/curlbuild.h includes platform and configuration dependent info,
- and must not be modified by anyone. Configure script generates it for you.

* We cannot assume anything else but very basic compiler features being
present. While libcurl requires an ANSI C compiler to build, some of the
