Hi Arif,
here's a quick way without fancy GUI which works:

1) open a "Visual Studio 2008 command prompt"
2) change dir to the root of your extracted curl-7.39.0 source
3) build with: "nmake VC=vc9 vc-winssl"
4) test: with: "src\curl -V" - should show ya:
curl 7.39.0 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.39.0 WinSSL
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap pop3
pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS Largefile SSPI SPNEGO NTLM SSL

I've just tested above, and that really works! So simple it can be ...
using zlib with libcurl doesnt bring much benefit, only the curl.exe
tool uses zlib to compress the manual (AFAICT).

Günter.
