Happy Old Year!

For years I've been using curl v7.25.0 (Win32). When I originally
installed that the download I got from the curl download webpage
was described as

 Win32 2000/XP 7.25.0 binary SSL SSH Gunter Knauf 1.52 MB

and when I unpacked that zip I copied four files into the folder where
I wanted to keep curl. Those were

  curl.exe libcurl.dll libeay32.dll libssl32.dll

Today (for a Win8.1 64bit system) I downloaded a zip described as

 Win64 x86_64 zip 7.57.0 binary SSL SSH Marc Hörsken 2.01 MB

and although there's clearly a curl.exe in that too, there's no sign of
any related DLLs. However I do notice that the curl.exe here is much
larger than the 7.25.0 one was (3911 KB instead of 659 KB).

That makes me think that the newer curl.exe has had the DLL stuff
linked into it. Is that right?
