I found several references to this problem (not cURL related), so it appears to be a MS issue.

I have tested this both with a current buildable (non-curl) project and a simple test one.

pulled in.

No, my build process at this stage is to completely recompile all source modules, headers, and libraries until the project itself it
stable and working.

I have gone over that material and what I have been able to find on the web so far. Pretty thin unless I have missed something. I
am taking notes on the build/setup process and will send it to you in a PDF as soon as all is working ok.
