It now uses the M4 macro that was provided by the curl guys themselves,
and I am not such a M4 / autotools guru so as to be able to do a lot of
hacking myself. Probabably the Windows guys of curl can be of help here
(if there's a a special Windows maintainer at all), or else looking at
other windows ports that use libcurl, how these configure their package?

Must have been a lot of work to get it to a good state!

Ah, so the application sees it running already, and does not need to
launch it, or it assumes it running.

That's fine, but why is that? Is Windows refusing the ";"?
I'll try to remember to do that for next time, and if I forget pls.
remind me. I suppose that you've patched them all?

Ok, it probably is going to make sense, but I'll be applying the patches
one by one, and test each change under Linux, then if there's any
explosion, I'll call you. You'll see the commit logs going out in due
course.


Thanks,
