Compiling with -f-curl was my first thought too. Note that then it won't 
depend on libcurl, so I wouldn't expect you to need the libcurl DLLs at 
all.

Using libcurl should improve the performance of HTTP downloads, but if 
performance is acceptable without it, I'd be inclined to suggest you 
just use that workaround.

At some point we'd like to replace the downloading code with something 
that uses pure Haskell, in part to avoid this kind of messy C dependency 
that's hard to use on Windows.
