OK, I see your point. If nobody beats me to it, I will look into this after my
holidy.

:-D 

Btw.: Many of the things that checkAPI (without extra options) Errors about should
be fixed in any case.

While we are at the (sub-)topic of libnghttp: Now that the protocol is finalized,
should we still import the source into our source or treat it like we treat (most)
other external libs: Just check for its availability and use iot if present?

Yes, the protocol is finalized but the lib is not available on all distribution...

and specially on Windows and Mac OS X... (no packages available)

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
