I think these are more BinDeps/Homebrew issues, but lets start here:

what bizarre curl version can't do curl -f -o /Users/atitus/.julia/v0.5/ZMQ/deps/downloads/zeromq-3.2.4.tar.gz -L https://archive.org/download/zeromq_3.2.4/zeromq-3.2.4.tar.gz ?

Okay seems like it was solved by getting rid of that curl version. Can we do something to give a better error message? Where would the check of the curl version need to go? BinDeps?
