curl "wwwDOTanysitehereDOTcom"

The library is somewhat overwhelming, I'd like my first program using curl
to be simple and small, and would therefore like to compile the smallest
possible .dll.

Any help on how to create a standalone executable (not requiring a seperate
dll at all) that performs the above would also be helpful.

You have to add include/curl to your include path and link your program
with the lib/libcurl.lib file to get a standalone executable.
