Ah right. The reason for this is that IPFS is not actually a protocol by 
itself powered by libcurl, it is a URL rewrite done by the command line tool 
into a HTTP(S):// URL.

Should still probably be listed there, indeed.

Also for the same reason: the disabling of features is mostly provided to let 
user build a smaller libcurl. Since libcurl does not support IPFS, nobody has 
bothered to add an option that disables IPFS just from the command line tool.
