YES! I made it through this mess. I did some testing and now I am sure
of suggested changes.
1. Considering that WinXP hold 64% share of OSes (Vista-16%,7-10%), it
should be primary target for us Windows developers.
2. On WinXP+VS2005+WinSDK5.2 libcurl builds without this patch, but
fails to build with any later SDK. As I said, maybe there is some
workaround that was later removed.
3. With this patch, libcurl builds on any SDK on XP/Vista. I didn't
tested on Win7, but it should build too (Vista ad 7 do not differ much).
4. #include <wspiapi.h> should help build libcurl on systems older than
XP (I believe its mostly 2000 and NT 4.0 servers), as written here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738520(VS.85).aspx. I'll try
when I get near one.

I compiled libcurl with "nmake vc-dll".
Here is suggested patch -

P.S. Download link for Windows XP/Server2003 Platform SDK is old. I
suggest replacing
"http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm"
with
"http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E15438AC-60BE-41BD-AA14-7F1E0F19CA0D&displaylang=en"
