After installing "libcurl4-openssl-dev" everything worked fine and I
now have a nicely working gretl fresh from cvs.
For possible future reference, here is all the packages that I
installed after a fresh Mint installation to be able to compile gretl
from source:
cvs
ssh
gnupot
libgtksourceview2.0-dev
liblapac-dev
libfftw3-dev
libgmp-dev
libmpfr-dev
libreadline-dev
libgtk2.0-dev
libcurl4-openssl-dev
libxslt1-dev
Thanks very much for all your help.
Cheers
Talha

The libcurl "dev" dependency can be satisfied by any of these (which is
why Debian describes libcurl-dev as a "virtual package").
However, I believe the default curl installation is the openssl variant so
I think you'd be best to install the openssl-flavor dev package. I would
hope the package manager would alert you if this was going to cause a
problem.
