It's actually quite easy.  Just add the dependency directly to app_dial.c,
via the MODULEINFO comment:

/*** MODULEINFO
    <depend>curl</depend>
 ***/

Then, rerun 'make menuselect' to make sure that it picks up the new
dependency, 's' to save it, and finally 'make' will rebuild app_dial with the
extra libraries.
