Yes, that's the crux of the problem.

That seems to be the best solution.

I've tested CURL from CVS and everything works well.
I generated Makefile.vc9 with sed (from GnuWin32) as defined 'vc' target
in Makefile.dist and tested two builds:

cd lib
nmake -f Makefile.vc9 CFG=release
nmake -f Makefile.vc9 CFG=debug

Both produced libcurl with success.

Then I build GDAL library (I refer to it in my blog post, dependncy
walker screenshot), link against the new libcurl binary and every works
very well. No WSAPoll or ws2_32.dll dependency has been added.

Thanks for the fix!

Cheers
