Much better, thanks!

Just so we're on the same level: the libcurl.a is for all practical
means and purposes a .lib[1]. Since curl uses stdlib functions, you
also need msvcrt.a. Size-wise this is a non-issue because the linker
will only use the bits of both *.a files that it needs for the final
executable.

[1] It might in fact be an actual .lib with another extension but
that depends on the calling convention it's compiled with. Should be
__stdcall for win32 applications, I think.
