help needed for using curlib for clients with older OS

Hello,

I have to write a tool for data and file transfer over networks and would like to use libcurl for the networking stuff.
The final application has to support Windows95 clients and above.
In addition all code must be included in the final executable, no extra dll-files.
My developing platform is an XP machine with Visual C++ 6 (to ensure compatibility with Windows95).
I tried Visual Studio 2008 on a Windows 7 machine first, but those executables don't run on Windows95.
On this XP machine the current head revision doesn't compile, demanding for an installation of the February 2003 edition PSDK.
I looked for older Revisions and tried the libcurl 7.19.3 prebuild developer edition, it compiles fine but
1.) need a curlib.dll distributed along with the executable
2.) the executable exits with "The application failed to initialize properly(0xc0150002)."
Can you recommend a version which I can use for this specific task, if possible with header and source files for an static library
along with instructions how to handle it.
(I am a newbie in network programming and also not really used to Visual C++ 6 (spoiled by Visual Studio 2005 and 2008))

Thanks for trying to help,

Bärbel
