I assume it is once again a case where the mingw32 compiler differ from the
MSVC compiler and thus Jörn had no problems compiling it with mingw32.

We probably need some more #ifdef magic for that section. I need help with
this, I don't have MSVC.

Poor winzip.

Hm, can you explain then how the packages automatically heal themselves when
they are moved from my site to the mirrors? :*)

The packages origin from my site you know. If you could unpack a mirrored
*.tar.gz file, you should be able to unpack the original ones.

I verified again that 7.4-pre2 works. It does. I've used the exact same
packaging method to build .tar.gz packages of curl for many years by now. I
can't see why it has stopped working now...

Anyone else has any clues?
