Postpone this a bit during the feature freeze and retry the effort
in the next cycle.

It turns out that some platforms do ship without curl-config even
though they build with the hardcoded default -lcurl and rely on it
to work.

* db/make-with-curl:
  Makefile: default to -lcurl when no CURL_CONFIG or CURLDIR

The original implementation of CURL_CONFIG support did not match the
original behavior of using -lcurl when CURLDIR was not set. This broke
implementations that were lacking curl-config but did have libcurl
installed along system libraries, such as MSysGit. In other words, the
assumption that curl-config is always installed was incorrect.

Instead, if CURL_CONFIG is empty or returns an empty result (e.g. due
to curl-config being missing), use the old behavior of falling back to
-lcurl.

Ask curl-config how to link with the curl library, instead of
having only a limited configurability knobs in the Makefile.

* db/make-with-curl:
  Makefile: allow static linking against libcurl
  Makefile: use curl-config to determine curl flags

When extract l10n messages, we use "--add-comments" option to keep
comments right above the l10n messages for references.  But sometimes
irrelevant comments are also extracted.  For example in the following
code block, the comment in line 2 will be extracted as comment for the
l10n message in line 3, but obviously it's wrong.

        { OPTION_CALLBACK, 0, "ignore-removal", &addremove_explicit,
          NULL /* takes no arguments */,
          N_("ignore paths removed in the working tree (same as
          --no-all)"),
          PARSE_OPT_NOARG, ignore_removal_cb },

Since almost all comments for l10n translators are marked with the same
prefix (tag): "TRANSLATORS:", it's safe to only extract comments with
this special tag.  I.E. it's better to call xgettext as:

        xgettext --add-comments=TRANSLATORS: ...

Also tweaks the multi-line comment in "init-db.c", to make it start with
the proper tag, not "* TRANSLATORS:" (which has a star before the tag).

This requires more flags than can be guessed with the old-style
CURLDIR and related options, so is only supported when curl-config is
present.

curl-config should always be installed alongside a curl distribution,
and its purpose is to provide flags for building against libcurl, so
use it instead of guessing flags and dependent libraries.

Allow overriding CURL_CONFIG to a custom path to curl-config, to
compile against a curl installation other than the first in PATH.

Depending on the set of features curl is compiled with, there may be
more libraries required than the previous two options of -lssl and
-lidn. For example, with a vanilla build of libcurl-7.36.0 on Mac OS X
10.9:

$ ~/d/curl-out-7.36.0/lib/curl-config --libs
-L/Users/dborowitz/d/curl-out-7.36.0/lib -lcurl -lgssapi_krb5 -lresolv -lldap -lz

Use this only when CURLDIR is not explicitly specified, to continue
supporting older builds.

Eradicate mistaken use of "nor" (that is, essentially "nor" used
not in "neither A nor B" ;-)) from in-code comments, command output
strings, and documentations.

* jl/nor-or-nand-and:
  code and test: fix misuses of "nor"
  comments: fix misuses of "nor"
  contrib: fix misuses of "nor"
  Documentation: fix misuses of "nor"

Finishing touches for portability.

* jk/commit-dates-parsing-fix:
  t4212: loosen far-in-future test for AIX
  date: recognize bogus FreeBSD gmtime output

Most gmtime implementations return a NULL value when they
encounter an error (and this behavior is specified by ANSI C
and POSIX).  FreeBSD's implementation, however, will simply
leave the "struct tm" untouched.  Let's also recognize this
and convert it to a NULL (with this patch, t4212 should pass
on FreeBSD).
