installation issue when building with NO_CURL=YesPlease

As I could not find any bug reporting information on the wiki I  
thought I would mention this here, please let me know if there is a  
better forum for bug reports.  I believe the latest git release  
(1.7.1.) has an installation bug when building with  
"NO_CURL=YesPlease".  Looking at the Makefile line 1999 it reads

for p in $(REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES); do

which results in "/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1 : `;' unexpected" as  
REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES is empty.
