I wonder, though. That check is over 8 years old. Are that old systems
(that haven't been upgraded) still able to build Git? Even my old
RedHat 5 setup has curl 7.15.5...

Perhaps the following is the right thing to do? If not, perhaps we
could move this complication to configure.ac, which could get the
version number from the header-file instead? That way, quirks only
affect quirky systems...

(white-space damaged, I'll post a proper patch if there's some agreement)
