I'm showing up late to this conversation I'm afraid, but I do use the
makefiles. I do have to tweak them in order to enable building the
symbol files( compatible with symbol stores ) for release and debug
builds.

Although to be honest, by the time I'm done with the tweaks, the only
thing that builds is libcurl itself. That is why I hadn't submitted a
patch for it.

That's interesting.
Why do you think so?

Not really.
It means to use static zlib and dynamic ssl.
The pattern is
[release|debug][-dll][-zlib|-zlib-dll][-ssl|-ssl-dll]...

Creating dll with zlib and ssl would be spelled as
dll-zlib-ssl
