currently, curl-config --libs prints something like:

$ curl-config --libs
$ -L/usr/lib -lcurl -L/usr/kerberos/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lgssapi_krb5
-lkrb5 -lcom_err -lk5crypto -lresolv -ldl -lz -L/usr/kerberos/lib -lssl
-lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lcom_err -lk5crypto
-lresolv -ldl -lz -lz

in order to use this output with msvc you would need to something more like:

$ pkg-config glib-2.0 --msvc-syntax
$ /libpath:C:\usr\lib libglib-2.0.lib libintl.lib libiconv.lib

this makes it very nice for cygwin users who would like to write gnu
style makefiles but also use the native compilier.
