  ok, there's some curious stuff going on there.  first, while the
newest curl .bb file is version 7.19.7, there is no equivalent
curl-native .bb file, even though earlier version have them.  is there
a reason for that?

  also, it's only that latest .bb file -- curl_7.19.7.bb -- that has
the tarball checksums.  if there *was* a corresponding -native .bb
file, would it *also* need those identical checksums?  i would like to
think not since that would be redundant.  a grep of recipes shows only
two recipes that appear to be taking advantage of this feature --
busybox and curl.
