http://dessent.net/cygwin/release/curl/libcurl2/setup.hint
http://dessent.net/cygwin/release/curl/libcurl2/libcurl2-7.11.1-2-src.tar.bz2
http://dessent.net/cygwin/release/curl/libcurl2/libcurl2-7.11.1-2.tar.bz2

I'd prefer not to block on this.  However I'd be happy to refresh the
curl packages as soon as these libs have been uploaded.
