Once again, please send stuff to the list, not to me directly.

I don't know what "generic" means in that context, you'd have to look
at the documentation or ask someone related to the curl project.  If I
had to take a guess, it'd be that the binaries were built with mingw
or msvc6 so that either compiler could use it.

There is no non-SSL library build there, so I don't see anything that
you can use.  The only non-SSL builds are binary curl executables.
