[BioC] Rcurl 0.8-1 update for bioconductor 2.7

[Yan Zhou]

Hi,

I'm seeking help here regarding updating the Rcurl for macOSX to a newer 
version so it'll accomodate to bioconductor 2.7. The current version of 
Rcurl 0.8-1 (in bioconductor 2.7 for macOSX) is built for bioconductor 
2.6; Is there anyone who could help to put the bioconductor 2.7 
compatible version of Rcurl into the database? So we could use packages 
depending on Rcurl? Any kind help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
