Hmmm.  I tried running this using wine, and it seems that it *does* require
libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll.  These are the openssl libraries, and I
guess it makes sense not to link with them statically, since if you did so
you couldn't legally distribute the resulting binary... Perhaps it would be
better to simply build darcs using the non-ssl version of libcurl? Another
option would be to relicense darcs with a special exception for openssl,
but to do that I'd have to track down everyone who's contributed
(admittedly there aren't *that* many) and get their permission, which would
be a bit of a pain.

In addition, you probably don't want to include darcs-createrepo.exe,
darcsman.exe or unit.exe in the zip file.  I don't think you'd want to
include darcs_cgi.exe either, although I suppose it could be useful for
people who run web servers on their windows machines... but I'm not sure
it'd look in the right places to find the repositories.
