I tried to build current cvs with MSVC and had a few problems:

1. No ca-bundle.h (fixed with patch)
2. No getdate.c (fixed with patch)
3. No hugehelp.c (fixed with patch)
4. No strtoofft.h in src.

I'm hoping the patches for #1-#3 are OK. Not sure what the right way to fix
#4 is. I've seen discussion of this on the list and it seems like the move
to a common directory for libcurl and curl.exe is the solution.

I have a feeling Daniel is in the middle of doing this right now. Is there
anything I can do to help?

I tried adding ../lib to the include path when compiling in src, but that
didn't work:

        cl.exe /MD /O2 /D "NDEBUG" /I "../lib" /I "../include" /I
"c:\src\cobra\
zlib" /nologo /W3 /GX /D "WIN32" /D "_CONSOLE" /D "_MBCS" /YX /FD /c
homedir.c
homedir.c
        cl.exe /MD /O2 /D "NDEBUG" /I "../lib" /I "../include" /I

zlib" /nologo /W3 /GX /D "WIN32" /D "_CONSOLE" /D "_MBCS" /YX /FD /c main.c
main.c

and so on...

These patches seem to work fine with both MSVC 6 and 7, but I run into the
same errors with both as far as strtoofft.h goes.

I'm also submitting a small patch for docs/INSTALL.
