Thanks!  We should probably adjust the (native-search-paths ...) field
of cURL to account for these new variables too.  Can you also rebase it
on 'core-updates'?

From reading the upstream discussion, there does not seem to be any
inherent problems with the patch.  So, LGTM.  Are you willing to
maintain it when it inevitably requires porting to newer versions?  :-)
