I recently compiled libcurl for windows, and the dsw doesn't work well for
me as you can't choose SSL, SSPI and other features.

Instead, use nmake and one of the Makefiles in there (there is a makefile
for vc9, for example).

There is documentation in the doc folder, and documentation in the Makefile
itself.

For the lib, compile the Makefile in the lib directory. For curl.exe, first
compile the lib and then compile the makefile in the src directory.
