mention CVS-INFO for more info when checked out from CVS

removed old section about problems with old autoconfs, I don't think that

You probably need to be root when doing the last command.
If you have checked out the sources from the CVS repository, read the
CVS-INFO on how to proceed.
If you want to install curl in a different file hierarchy than /usr/local,
you need to specify that already when running configure:
./configure --prefix=/path/to/curl/tree
If you happen to have write permission in that directory, you can do 'make
install' without being root. An example of this would be to make a local
install in your own home directory:
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install
The configure script always tries to find a working SSL library unless
explicitly told not to. If you have OpenSSL installed in the default search
path for your compiler/linker, you don't need to do anything special. If

KNOWN PROBLEMS (these ones should not happen anymore)
If you happen to have autoconf installed, but a version older than 2.12
you will get into trouble. Then you can still build curl by issuing these
commands (note that this requires curl to be built staticly): (from Ralph
Beckmann)
./configure [...]
cd lib; make; cd ..
cd src; make; cd ..
cp src/curl elsewhere/bin/
As suggested by David West, you can make a faked version of autoconf and
autoheader:
----start of autoconf----
#!/bin/bash
#fake autoconf for building curl
if [ "$1" = "--version" ] then
echo "Autoconf version 2.13"
fi
----end of autoconf----
Then make autoheader a symbolic link to the same script and make sure
they're executable and set to appear in the path *BEFORE* the actual (but
obsolete) autoconf and autoheader scripts.
MORE OPTIONS
To force configure to use the standard cc compiler if both cc and gcc are
