git: make expat and curl into PACKAGECONFIG items
It can be useful to use git on target (e.g. with some wrapper like etckeeper for keeping track of changes to /etc), and for such cases, it is likely one has no need for pulling from/pushing to http[s] repositories. From the INSTALL file: - "libcurl" library ... If you do not use http:// or https:// repositories, and do not want to put patches into an IMAP mailbox, you do not have to have them (use NO_CURL). - "expat" library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock management over DAV. Similar to "curl" above, this is optional (with NO_EXPAT). Setting --without-expat and --without-curl reduces the size of the installed "git" package from 18M to 12M, in addition to avoiding pulling those libraries into the rootfs.
