The previous attempt to patch libcurl used
getenv("CURL_CA_BUNDLE") || getenv("SSL_CERT_FILE")
to get the second environment variable if the first is unset.
Unfortunately, this broke libcurl because the (||) operator is C returns
only 0 or 1, so it is inappropriate for pointer comparisons! Now we use
getenv("CURL_CA_BUNDLE") ? getenv("CURL_CA_BUNDLE") : getenv("SSL_CERT_FILE")
instead. This has one downside: it always calls getenv twice! But,
that's a small price to pay for actually being correct.
This version contains a security fix for CVE-2013-0249, for details please have
a look at:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20130206.html
Thanks to @roconnor for pointing this out.
I'm pushing this to stdenv-updates because I'm not quite sure if it will break
other things because 7.29.0 is now non-blocking by default. Plus the security
vulnerability only affects IMAP, POP3 and SMTP protocol support.

Cherry-picked into master, this won't change stdenv.

This is for consistency with terminology in stdenv (and the terms
"hostDrv" and "buildDrv" are not very intuitive, even if they're
consistent with GNU terminology).
Solves a hideous bug which affects lots of things including nix-env.
The question now is, how to rebuild everything that depends directly or indirectly on curl?

Bug looks like this:
curl google.com
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 74.125.224.35: Invalid argument
