Subject: [PATCH] Use the git protocol instead of https, as the build is
 breaking in systems where curl-devel packages are not
 installed(Or more importantly can't be installed, due to
 various reasons)

Agreed with coke -- originally we were using git​: connections, and
then we changed it to http​: because of firewalling issues.

I prefer that http​: remain the default, and perhaps we provide a
configure option that enables git​: connections to be used instead.
Even better would be to probe to select the best option.
