That did not quite do the trick. But thanks for pointing that out to me,
here's what did work:

i586-mingw32msvc-g++ baf-0.6.cc -o baf-6.exe -lcurl -lwinmm -lws2_32

For some reason libcurl's dependencies weren't being linked, even though
the libcurl.la file is present. (Perhaps this should be noted in the FAQ
?)

Thanks for your help and patience. I will work harder to figure things
out on my own. Keep up the great work guys.
