[sldev] Second Life (standalone build) broken with Fedora 8

Second Life is broken with Fedora 8. When trying to log in I just get a
"Despite our best efforts, something unexpected has gone wrong" dialog.

Packet sniffing shows what appears to be curl attempting to make an
un-encrypted POST request, which is rejected. This seems to be more
breakage due to the switching of curl to NSS:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2007-August/msg00017.html

Reverting to an OpenSSL based curl does in fact fix it. Someone help? :)
I'm not quite sure whose bug tracker this belongs in. Near as I can tell
this is technically a curl bug.

The log shows this:
