Current flaws in the curl CMake build =====================================
Missing features in the cmake build:
- Builds libcurl without large file support - Does not support all SSL libraries (only OpenSSL, Schannel, Secure Transport, and mbed TLS, NSS, WolfSSL) - Doesn't allow different resolver backends (no c-ares build support) - No RTMP support built - Doesn't allow build curl and libcurl debug enabled - Doesn't allow a custom CA bundle path - Doesn't allow you to disable specific protocols from the build - Doesn't find or use krb4 or GSS - Rebuilds test files too eagerly, but still can't run the tests - Doesn't detect the correct strerror_r flavor when cross-compiling (issue #1123)
