You will need to install Perl for Win32 (from ActiveState.com) to compile
the OpenSSL files. Please see the Install.w32 which is part of the OpenSSL
tarball.

Quoting the cURL Install file:

  Please read the OpenSSL documentation on how to compile and install
  the OpenSSL library. This generates the libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll
  files.

  Run the 'vcvars32.bat' file to get the proper environment variables
  set. Edit the makefile.vc6 in the lib directory and define
  OPENSSL_PATH. Set the location of the OpenSSL library and run 'nmake
  vc-ssl' in the root directory.

  The vcvars32.bat file is part of the Microsoft development
  environment.

You can also get the OpenSSL DLLs and cURL 7.8 win32 binary at
http://www.megaohm.resistor.net/~sm/curl78ssl.zip
