Yes, CURL builds as pure win32, using (surprise) mingw. I don't
know any details on setting this up, but you can probably find
some info at http://curl.haxx.se/, or try the curl mailing list
(curl AT haxx DOT se). The porting to remove reliance on POSIX APIs
has (to my knowledge) already been done; however, since Cygwin
supports POSIX, and since the win32 version of curl.exe doesn't
really care for posix path spec (e.g. have to translate /usr/...
to/from C:\cygwin\usr\... style when using win32 version of curl),
the cygwin version of curl (including all libraries) expects to
find cygwin1.dll...

Correct. This works fine for me. Statically or dynamically.
