[CMake] Building CMake without Curl

[Chuck Atkins]

Hi Jayesh,

CMake includes internal versions of all the dependencies it needs to
build.  You have the option of using an external system-supplied version
but it's certainly not required.  Without OpenSSL you'll just have a cmake
that can't use https, certainly not the end of the world.  The default
configuration of the ./bootstrap command should be using internal versions
of all of CMake's dependencies.  Is that causing problems for you?
