*I* don't but I'm not the right person to ask not to work on that since I'm
not really fluent in Windows land, but those "minuscule differences" tend to
be different memory management options etc (as I understand it) that you
really can't magically fix afterwards but you have to have them set correct at
build time.

Just a word of caution: do not use cmake to build libcurl. Those build files
are not kept up-to-date and are subject for removal soon.

You say you use "gcc" on windows. Is that mingw? Can't you then just use the
configure way of building? configure + make ?
