Cool, thanks! v4 does it that way. It also errors out at configure
time if you demand libpq-oauth on a platform that does not support it.

The Autoconf side was still polluting LIBS and CPPFLAGS with Curl
stuff. I have isolated them in v4, with some additional m4
boilerplate. IMO this makes the subtle difference between USE_LIBCURL
(which means the libpq-oauth module is enabled to build) and
HAVE_LIBCURL (which means you have libcurl installed locally) even
more confusing.

Christoph noted that this was also confusing from the packaging side,
earlier, and Daniel proposed -Doauth-client/--with-oauth-client as the
feature switch name instead. Any objections? Unfortunately it would
mean a buildfarm email is in order, so we should get it locked in.

Next up: staticlibs.

Thanks,
--Jacob
