Quite frankly, I'd really prefer to see the git-core-http as a separate package.

I think it's ludicrous that people want to split out gitk (because it wants tcl/tk), but that we then add all of these really obscure dependencies for the http part.

There are probably more boxes with tcl/tk on them than there are boxes with curl and expat (on one box I use, I already have to compile with NO_CURL=1 to avoid getting the http programs.
