Of course! What I expect is *AT LEAST* to set up the thing. If I can do a bit of maintenance that would be better, but I guess some people, like Tetetest, would be willing to participate.

Errr... I think there is a confusion between two problems.
1. lib558 has missing symbols fir Win32+DLL. That's okay, we'll simply disable lib558 in that case. Let's say this point is over (...for now!)
2. tests/server projects directly include libcurl source files. This is a fact. However, under Win32, some symbols in these files are marked as "imported" which is wrong when we include the files instead of linking with libcurl. My first solution was to put a definintion in tests/server projects to avoid libcurl symbols to be marked as "imported".

I hope my explanation is clear enough! :)
