Hmm - thanks for replying.
I (now) see what you mean ... at least for the 'Windows 64-bit' section. But
there's no corresponding entry in the 'Windows 32-bit' section.
I think also the lowercase black text "the curl project" is surprisingly
non-eyecatching considering it's describing the OFFICIAL build.
AND it's NOT a link (though the version number two columns to its left IS.)
By the time someone's scrolled down this page to find the Windows stuff I'd
say they'd have got used to seeing all the other rh column links in blue.
In the whole set of lists/tables there's usually good amounts of white space
separating the columns but when the penultimate column's text is long (as it
is when it says "tool + devel") that column nearly runs into the rightmost
column. That doesn't help.
I also think it might be useful if near the top of the page there was some
text that said something like "In the lists below, links to official curl
project builds are labelled 'the curl project'."
Lastly - at the top of the table the (column-)headers don't line-up with the
columns. The list of sub-tables is (here) 14 screenfuls long. If there's
any point in having those column headers they need to be repeated at intervals
down the page.
