Sure you have to alter the stuff below as well
  if ( LOBYTE( wsaData.wVersion ) != 2 ||
       HIBYTE( wsaData.wVersion ) != 0 ) {

Might anything inside Curl break when using versions below 2.0?
otherwise I think it would be fine to have a patch that tries lower
versions in case WSAStartup with 2.0 fails
