So curl really must die. It may not matter for the expensive operations, 
but a lot of scripting is about running all those "cheap" things that just 
add up over time.

SELinux is the problem, not curl.

I think it's NSS, the problem, not SELinux. Linus's libcurl is built
against NSS, which is the default on Fedora.

Well, it kind of doesn't matter. The fact is, libcurl is a bloated 
monster, and adds zero to 99% of what git people do.

The fact that apparently sometimes it's less bloated than other times 
doesn't really change anything fundamental, does it?
