Thanks for info. I didn't notice there is binary package for libcurl for Windows and I compiled it by myself upgrading VC project file which comes with sources. Author of this project file chose to name project and output file curllib... I changed this to libcurl for consistency.

By the way; I can't understand why the include's subfolder in the lib folder of libcurl's package is named curl. I think this should be libcurl as curl should be reserved for the app not the library. What do you think?

By the way; I changed names of your VC8 files so they reflect they are for VC8 :) Take a look at other changes I made. I hope you would like to port some of them back to VC8 files :)
