The way it is implemented now normaliz.lib is not included in libcurl,
but only referred to. The systems normaliz.dll will be used.
This is exactly the desired result.

It is the standard SDK for VC2008 (VC9). I compile PHP myself (PHP
5.3.15 and PHP 5.4.5 under X86 and X64) and would rather not mess with
the SDK's. Of course, I have 7.1 (x64) and v7.0a (x86) installed as
well, but these are the standard SDK's for VC2010 (VC10). And PHP is
VC9...
