Yes. Okay, thanks.
Our buildsystem checks for curl or gnurl and prefers gnurl if both are 
found.

Because I keep forgetting what we use this "optional, but highly recommended"
dependency for I need to add it to the README of gnunet. So far I'd say we
can live without DANE validation support for the moment.
Ensuring was the wrong word, I just like to set defaults, as we have a
variety of options for gnunet.
