These is all because we have nobody who loves MSVC *and* libcurl that
much that he continously contributes updates ...; our makefiles are
generated automatically as much as possible, and you can and should of
course use latest dependent libs: zlib-1.2.5, openssl-0.9.8o (not sure
if 1.0.1 does now support optimized asm builds, I remember there were
quirks), and if needed libssh-1.2.6.
Normally we do surround anyway these path defines with ifdefs so you can
easily overwrite them fom a batchfile with env vars without even need to
change the makefiles /project files; not sure if we do this for the MSVC
files too but IIRC we do.
I will update these vars, but also take a look into docs/INSTALL and
mention there that these vars just point to a version recent at time of
last change, and should be updated / overwritten with latest versions.

no idea, I hope Bill can chime in here? He did maintain the CMake stuff
in the past ...

AFAICT you dont need OpenSSL; SSPI is realized through wincrypt APIs;
usually it is enough to compile libcurl with a define -DUSE_WINDOWS_SSPI
to enable it.
