I can help; I went through this recently.

Download the source zip (e.g., curl-7.18.1.zip), extract it, and then
open up the curllib.dsw workspace in the lib directory. You should be
able to build the library using that workspace. Worked for me on VC2003
and VC6. I did have to tweak some of the source code settings to get it
to work, but I thought that was because I needed to build an older
version (7.15.4). If you get stuck or it doesn't compile, feel free to
drop me an email offlist.
