yeah, great!!! Someone on MSVC who loves libcurl!

yes, correct; my fault. Some longer time ago I did rename config.h to
curl_config.h, and left the heandtweaked configs out. We should rename
these too I guess ...
FTM a simple workaround is to just make a copy of config-win32.h to
curl_config-win32.h - this file does not change that often, and anyway
its only that testcurl.pl wants to display it which is also of no
further use since its anyway a static file coming from git - the display
is mainly to see those curl_config.h which are generated by configure.

correct; I take a look soon, probably this weekend -- it has biten me
too already, and I'm using a patched version too :)

Gün.
