This patch implements Linus' idea that if you are not interested in
pulling by HTTP, you can now say

	NO_CURL=1 make

to compile everything except git-http-pull (thus not needing curl at all).

Thanks.  Obviously this does not take care of the use of curl
executable to handle http:// URL in clone and fetch, but I do
not think that is worth the trouble (we should document it
though).

I love it I can just slow down and let others submit obviously
correct patches, which I can just slurp in.

You're obviously doing well as a maintainer. Only stupid people try to do 
everything themselves.

Personally, I spend a _lot_ of time communicating, because even if it's a 
lot more work to explain (in detail) what I want done, and it doesn't work 
out all the time, and I sometimes have to do it myself _anyway_, if it 
works even just occasionally, it not only gets people involved, it makes 
them do it themselves next time around without prodding, and then you just 
sit back, sip a foofy tropical drink, and take the credit.
