I've briefly experimented with this approx 1 year ago. It seems to be
a matter of linking to *only* OneCore.lib (not ws2_32.lib etc.). This
is an "Umbrella Library" for the UWP/UAP:

Even if libcurl.dll + curl.exe would link, I'm not sure this would work
though. Try for yourself. Good luck.

BTW, here's the gist of this "Universal App Platform":

  Note the devices in the figure above. So one day, maybe libcurl with the aid of
  this "One SDK" could take part in the world of "IoT" or "XBox"?
