libcurl.lib for windows? libcurl.a?

Hello

I downloaded the most recent libcurl (7.16.3) compiled for "Win32
Generic" (Non-SSL) by Daniel Stenberg. I expected a "libcurl.lib" file
along with a dll, but instead there was a libcurl.a, libcurl.dll.a,
libcurl.la, and libcurl-4.dll, along with headers, documentation, etc.
As far as I know, ".a" files are not windows files. How do I link this
into my C/C++ program using Microsoft VC++? or do I have to recompile
the source to get a lib? In that case, what windows environment is this
distribution for?

Thanks
