In the case we link with libcurl just because user wants it. How about
not exposing --with-curl but define WITH_CURL when needs to(xenapi or
esx driver is enabled, or both)?
Yes, that would be the ideal solution. But this fix is correct even in
that case, no matter why WITH_CURL is defined if it is defined,
libvirt.c calls to libcurl and thus needs to link with it. Anyway, the
goal of the recent rewrite of our configure.ac by Daniel was to check
for all libraries we might need and then check what drivers we may
enable based on the libraries we have. I think removing libraries than
no driver wants might be in the long term goals but I'm not quite sure
about that.
