You could take a look at the new ioUrbanTerror test version source code at http://home.isp.studenten.net/algemeen/compilertest/ioUrbanTerrorSource_2007_11_18.zip , it comes with a pre-compiled libcurl.lib and a working msvc 2003 project (dont forget to set it to 'release'). I don't remember how I built the .lib though. hehe.
