These binaries don't include a libcurl.lib. I found one that has a
libcurl_imp.lib
The three dll's build fine: cgamex86.dll , qagamex86.dll , and, uix86.dll.

But ioquake3.exe fails to build as follows:

   Here's the error message from the output of the build process.

I figured out how to include the headers, libraries, etc. But from what I've
read, it's pretty difficult to build a libcurl.lib.
