Actually, curl installations without a curl-config command are likely to
support IPv6 as well, and you can sometimes just use the "curl -V" command
to see if this is a supported feature, e.g.

  $ curl -V
  curl 7.20.0 (i386-pc-solaris2.8) libcurl/7.20.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8n zlib/1.2.4 
c-ares/1.7.0 libidn/1.19
  Protocols: dict file ftp ftps http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s 
rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp 
  Features: AsynchDNS IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz
