The absolute horror libs3 is:

- Bacula 9.4.0 does not work with HEAD, it needs an older version.
- presumably 2016-12-14 or shortly after
- but that code needs some fixes from later dates to support a cURL 7.60+
- also git06a4683 does not compile with a current GCC, because it is
riddled with buffer-overflows
- there are changes in the upstream GIT, but they don't apply cleanly to
the version I need to use to get Bacula to compile.

Argh!

Grüße,
Sven.
