Add 'ws2_32.lib' to you linker command. Also, if you need the ldap
protocol (small chance), add wldap32.lib also. If you don't need
ldap, add '-DCURL_DISABLE_LDAP' to you CFLAGS while building
libcurl.

It's CURL_STATICLIB (the .doc must be wrong if it says otherwise).
Anyway, this option needs the user to link in Winsock. Normally
(when not using CURL_STATICLIB), the ABI exposed by libcurl.dll does
not depend on ws2_32 (winsock). It only when you make a static
lib. that you the user needs to provide the needed libs.
Clearer?
