Summary: Bad CFLAG given in FAQ

Initial Comment:
On http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html#Link_errors_when_building_libcur we are told that "when building an application that uses the static libcurl library, you must add -DCURL_STATICLIB to your CFLAGS".

That does not work in Visual Studio; "CURL_STATICLIB" is the actual term. Additionally, CFLAGS are known as "Preprocessor Definitions" in VS.

Message:
Oh.

But note that the answer is actually for windows in general so we better
provide an answer that works generically for more than just visual
studio...
