So this week I decided to finally get my local h2 branch into shape (I'd
started it in November, but life gets in the way) and send it in. I'd
somehow missed Mark's original message in the meantime. I apologise;
duplicated work really sucks.

Now... I'm going to gingerly attach my version anyway, since it makes a
few different choices. And I spent too much time on that description,
damn it! :-)

Most importantly, this builds the entire nghttp2 package, not only the
core library required by curl. The tools that use it aren't just toys or
examples as in some other packages. I use them regularly.

By splitting it into multiple outputs, the closure size for curl with
HTTP/2 support only increases by .5 MiB (same as Mark's patch).

I put nghttp2 in web.scm, since it's not curl-related. In any case,
adding nghttp2 itself doesn't need to pass through core-updates first.

Also note that the licence is really l:expat, not l:non-copyleft.

Thanks for working on this, and sorry again for not noticing it sooner,
