Building cURLpp 0.7.2

I want to use cURLpp for a project I've been working on, but there's no package for Ubuntu.

I downloaded the tarball, but discovered that example 18 would not compile. It would fail with the following error:

example18.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
example18.cpp:85: error: ‘BoostWriteFunction’ is not a member of ‘cURLpp::Options’
example18.cpp:85: error: ‘test’ was not declared in this scope
example18.cpp:85: error: expected type-specifier
example18.cpp:85: error: expected `;'
make[1]: *** [example18.o] Error 1

I discovered that usage of the Boost libraries was an option, and wasn't being tested for in example 18. boost::bind is one of the tools I frequently use in C++, the Boost support seems less optional to me, so I cleaned and ran configure --with-boost. Still, I got the error.

It became clear that the configure-generated config.h was not being included. This patch fixed that, and fixed the compile:
