We don't typically support building for multiple platforms like that, you
should re-run the configure/cmake script for that. I'm not even sure what it
means to add a configuration with visual studio.

I can see how you think so, coming from a Windows world. But config-win32 is
mostly a hack to start with and if life was good it wouldn't even exist and
everything would be generated by cmake/configure. That's how it works on
everything that is *nix like.

This said, having both a generated curl_config.h (that can be generated with
two different scripts) and a manually edited config-win32 file of course takes
some juggling to get right.

If you have specific suggestions on what to improve and how, then please
provide patches. I personally don't build for windows and I don't use cmake so
I'm not in a good position to fix those things myself.
