I don't think the point is to use an older cmake version, for me the

So having a package with turned-off curl (I guess for auto-fetching)
will already go a long way for that.

Perhaps a crazy thought, but what if we just make curl a default-off
option.  Auto-fetching is basically a bug anyway, in pkgsrc, or in other
contexts.

You can't disable cmcurl completely (at least without a bunch of patches) but you can get it to compile against its bundled curl sources (and other bundled sources that it needs) which is what my original patch did.
