Good catch.  I did this initially, but found it simpler to not use
git-fetch for RHash.  I don't like inserting these 'magic' packages
around the graph.  It also means we need two graft two cURLs instead of
one.

But I don't feel strongly about it, and keeping the updater working is a
good argument.  So I was about to revert back, but then found out RHash
is available on sourceforge too:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/rhash/

Much better!

Since you made me reconsider, I also found a better solution for 2/4: we
can lose CMakes runtime dependency on 'curl-minimal' as well by using it
only once, to build libjpeg-turbo:
