Sorry, but I don't think that page is good enough for many simple users.

For example, it doesn't mention many bits about how you proceed to get
PHP/CURL installed on windows (or using a binary package). IIRC, there are
binaries provided for windows and you can somehow activate PHP/CURL in that
without having to learn configure options...

Yes, but more I believe it is more importantly that I host and maintain the
'curl web site' and the PHP binding is tirelessly referred to as CURL (as
opposed to a more special name such as PHP/CURL) in PHP land so very many PHP
users immediately get trouble trying to figure this out.

I need to work on making that separation clearer on the web site.

True, one should never under-estimate what lack of clues can do! ;-)
