-# Notes:
-# - build curl with OpenSSL support instead GnuTLS support to
-#   work around a long standing bug on Pi where https streams often hang on
-#   start. This hang is normally fatal and requires a reboot.
-#   see also http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/14674 .
-#   Easiest way to reproduce is to install gdrive addon and play a video from
-#   there: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=177557
