Ive been working on this for a few days and I still dont have a working
curlpp.
here are the commands im using to build curlpp in msys.

cd /g/programming/libs/curlpp-0.7.0
export PATH="$PATH:/g/programming/libs/libcurl-7.16.4/bin"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/g/programming/libs/libcurl-7.16.4/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/g/programming/libs/libcurl-7.16.4/lib"
./configure
make

configure seems to work ok.
make seems to have a few errors and quits.

here is the out put from configure and make.
