I was finally able to make some progress on the issue. I have installed
git with cygwin, so CR problems anymore. Though the following is still open:

1. docs/INSTALL [1] says that a mere configure is sufficient.
    Unfortunately it is not. You need to pass --host=mingw32 otherwise
    it won't execute ar correctly and some other stuff will fail.
    Should I provide a PR?
2. make install still throws sed errors like:
    sed: -e expression #1, char 3: unknown command: `.'
    I was able to tackle at least one to
docs/libcurl/opts/Makefile.in:700: | sed -n '/\.3[a-z]*$$/p'; \
    Unfortunately, I have no idea what is wrong with that expression.
    If someone has a clue, please speak up.

Michael
