Here is a patch that adds version and description to libcurl.dll.
For MSVC6 and MingW. Doesn't MacOS have resources too?

Daniel, fill in something sensible in the "LegalCopyright " field.

I couldn't find a easy way to turn LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM into
7,9,10,0 (yes, it must be 4 values). Maybe there should be a
libcurl.rc.in file parsed by Perl.

Or define it in portions;
#define LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM ((LIBCURL_MAJOR << 16) + \
            (LIBCURL_MINOR << 8) + \
            LIBCURL_PATCH)
