Subject: [PATCH] configure: fix curl installed in non-standard places

configure helpfully uses curl-config to figure out appropriate -L and -l
options for the compiler, but fails to check for any necessary -I
options.  If, perchance, you are using a compiler whose #include paths
have an older version of curl.h lying about, but have a newer version of
curl installed locally (say, $HOME), the small test program in configure
will succeed (with a warning, possibly).  But the compilation of
block/curl.c will fail because curl.c requires more up-to-date features.

To avoid this, grab --cflags from curl-config too.  It's not completely
foolproof (the test in configure should really be checking for all the
features that block/curl.c uses or block/curl.c should gracefully
cooperate with older versions), but it's more correct than what we have.
