I'm not sure anymore where 7.19.3 came from, but 7.19.4 was
downloaded from <curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.4.tar.gz>.
It is build using VC9 in an MSys shell using nmake.

Against the DLL.

It gets its MSVCR90D.DLL from the application's manifest, I
guess. From what Dependency Walker tells me, we're not mixing
debug and release versions. Also, it crashes in both of them.

Yep. It seems out of date, BTW. I tried the MSVC cmd line
build as advertised and got "don't know how to make 'vc'".
What we do is
   nmake -f Makefile.vc9 CFG=release-dll
   nmake -f Makefile.vc9 CFG=debug-dll
As I said, we do this from a shell script in MSys. I haven't
checked who figured the build script out and thus haven't
asked where they have their ideas from.
