I think maybe worked this out. I downloaded the source code package
and ran the makefile without any options specified and the resultant
libcurl.a was a bit smaller than that which comes with the libcurl
package. I then copied that to curl\lib and re-compiled the sample
files and they cam out at around 300 kb. (simple.c doesn't require ssl
or anything else.)

Please correct me if I've done the wrong thing, but I think I have
sorted my problems.

Thanks
Andrew
