Looking at the code, everything Windows related is #ifdef WIN32, so it
would appear not to matter to the runtime.
However, due to these being on the link line, the libcurl.la file
contains still includes these:
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 -lwinmm -lz'
Libtool hence will unnecessarily require w32api to be installed in order
to link with these two. So I'd still say that they need to be avoided.
