Title: #171: Build system cleanup phase 2

"""
I consider CURL topic to be just bikesheding.

Ad POPT: RHEL is going to require explicit configuration as designed in http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Build_system_refactoring because you have to explicitly disable missing checks etc. anyway. At the same time you can provide correct POPT flags.

If RHEL packager disagrees we can use some auto-magic but I would rather avoid it whenever possible. For reasons above, I think that upstream version should use pkgconfig as it is preferred way for library auto-detection.
