 In www/curl, "curl" tool is ignored, and TOOLS_PATH.curl is empty,
 mk/fetch/fetch is invoked with empty FETCH_CMD,
 then ftp is used as FETCH_CMD with curl condition?

 Probably not so easy.
 
 If you start to build package devel/libidn, curl is required to fetch,
 curl depend on devel/libidn, ... circular dependency.
 
 Even if curl package is installed, it may not be usable.
 For example, libidn update with shlib bump, and curl is not built yet
 with updated libidn.
