Howard / Mateusz,

The dependencies on curl are supposed to be resolved at
the gdal/port/cpl_http.cpp level.  The CPLHTTPFetch() function
should just return an error at runtime when curl is not available.

I don't understand why we should see a direct dependency on
curl from the importFromUrl.

Perhaps the two of you can chat with me tomorrow if the
solution is not obvious.

Best regards,
