DESCRIPTION
    Builds curl-impersonate (a patched libcurl with a bundled BoringSSL)
    from source and exposes its cflags/libs, so an XS module can link a
    libcurl that reproduces a real browser's TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprint --
    JA3/JA4 and the HTTP/2 SETTINGS "Akamai" fingerprint -- rather than the
    one libcurl would otherwise present. See Curl::Impersonate for a Perl
    client built on it.

    This is a source-only Alien: there is no system package of
    libcurl-impersonate to find, so the probe always selects a "share"
    install and the library is compiled at install time. See "SYSTEM
    REQUIREMENTS", because that build is neither short nor dependency-free.

    The pinned version is v2.2.2, built from
    <https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate> itself. It is an exact
    tag rather than the newest one: upstream 2.0.0 replaced autotools with a
    CMake superbuild, and the target names this library is asked for are
    load-bearing in whatever links it, so neither is left to float.
