I tried compiling libCurl and Curl in Visual Studio 2013 using 
the project file included in the ./vs/vc6 folder (vc6curl.dsw).
I am using the latest curl 7.36.0 from the offical website.
I compiled libCurl without any error.But When I tried to build curl,I got 
2>dll-debug/curl.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
here is the full log,I omit some unimportant logs with ...

========== Build: 1 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I found the problem is that curl using curlx_read function which is not an offical libCurl API,
but the visual studio curl project didn`t add the warnless.c,when I add warnless.c to curl project,the problem fixed.

I also make a patch by adding warnless.c to curl project，tested under Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2013
