I've done the Makefile.dist change myself, even when I have attributed
it to you in git. ;-)

Well, back in this thread you were wondering how others were building
libcurl with MSVC and not reporting any problem. Obviously they had a
different setup than you, or were using a different build method, or
for any reason they simply did not report the issue and fixed it for
themselves. Who knows.

When using ancient VS versions, wspiapi.h is already included from
ws2tcpip.h when build target is older than WinXP. That's the reason
that makes that last hunk unnecessary.

In any case you can test daily snapshot http://curl.haxx.se/snapshots/
with date April 21, 2010 to verify if everything is all right.
