Re: lang/rust and www/curl with http2 option

That plan sounds good to me. Is nghttp2 a problematic dependency?

I think http2 is sufficiently common and mature that it should be
supported in binary packages.

(Described here https://github.com/alexcrichton/curl-rust/issues/279, but their solution does not work for me.) It is build by curl-sys module, which checks if curl with http2 support exists in the system. Apple provides such a library with macOS, but it is usually shadowed by curl from PkgSrc which does not have http2 option enabled by default. When I enable http2 for www/curl, when Rust builds and links correctly.
