This update pulls in no fewer than nine Kerberos support packages, and 
since all kinds of things rely on libcurl, these packages effectively 
become part of a cygwin base installation. Is there some way this could 
be avoided? Maybe a separate libcurl-kerberos package or something?

The grand total of which is only ~1.5MB.

Why?

This is a binary distribution, and there can be only one package 
providing a given file.  So, in short, no.
