No subject

complete - seems to indicate that there is no build-time way to know
if the library has SSH support enabled. This seems incredible to me,
so I'm going to press on with getting a firm answer to that. At
runtime the library handles transports that it doesn't support and
transports it was optionally compiled without identically - by issuing
a general statement to the user that no such transport is available.
Peter's initial response includes that line in the output of
installmgr: "CURLFTPTransport: TEXT: Protocol sftp not supported or
disabled in libcurl".

I'm presuming SWORD already has handling for such an error? Obviously
installmgr prints the error to stdout/stderr. But it seems like that's
the only real way to determine. If we wanted to, we could probably try
to run a test at configure-time for that, but I know I would freak out
if I was configuring a library to build and received a message from my
firewall that it was trying to connect out to the network.

I suppose, if there's no indication at build-time, that there will be
no way for us to know if support is available other than this error.
