Thanks for the help so far. I've run into another roadblock;
I sent this to the cURL list, but haven't had any response in 
a couple days, so I thought I'd see if someone on this list
has any ideas.

After the suggestion to add "AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL", I have no
problem doing a clean './configure' and 'make' of cURL.
I end up with a libtool(?) shell script where I had been
finding the compiled curl.exe (src/curl.exe), and I now have
a src/.libs/curl.exe (along with cygcurl-2.dll). This is good...
(in this example I was using a build directory of 
 /usr/src/curl/BUILD, but the problem also occurs without 
 a BUILD directory.)

HOWEVER, when I go to do a 'make install' (or, as in this example,
a 'make install prefix=/tmp/curl-build/usr', although both gave 
the same error), I see the following: 

/********* 
  Making install in src 
  make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/curl/BUILD/src' 
  /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o curl.exe main.o \

  make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/curl/BUILD/src' 
  make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 
\********* 

IF I manually copy src/.libs/curl.exe to src/curl.exe, and then try
my make install command again, it skips the re-link steps, and just
successfully performs the install and moves on.

This seems to be related to the fact that libtool has decided to dump my

curl.exe file in src/.libs/curl.exe, instead of putting it in the usual 
place of src/curl.exe. However, since this problem lies in the 
auto-generated part of the Makefile, I have no idea how one would go 
about fixing it properly for future iterations...

Any suggestions? 

Thanks,
Kevin
