-# since curl-sys is somehow totally broken, we need to work around it
-#
-# the problem is basically that at least with curl-sys 0.4.35, the static-curl
-# option will make the build.rs copy curl source files from inside curl/ in the
-# source tree, but the directory is empty; there is logic in the build.rs that
-# checks for existence of '.git' inside curl/, and if it doesn't exist, it
-# runs 'git submodule update', which is supposed to clone a copy of curl into
-# the source tree from git, but a curl-sys release tarball is not a git repo
-# and does not contain .git or .gitmodules at all, so that just fails anyway
-#
-# so work around the whole mess by fetching our own curl-sys, our own copy of
-# curl itself, then arrange things appropriately, create the .git inside curl/
-# to fool build.rs into not trying to run git, and then patch Cargo.toml inside
-# cargo to use our patched tree...
