Just make sure the lib/easy.c file is included in the project when you build
the lib.

Is there any way we can automatically build a project description for MSVC
that we can include in release archives? I think I've seen this in other
packages, or am I just halucinating?

When you build curl, you MUST build libcurl first for the curl application to
work. The curl tool is an application that uses the libcurl library.

There's nothing called "libsurl.h" (or even "libcurl.h") that you need.
