Hi Ray,

I work for a factory as a side gig, and I'm in charge of compiling new 
cURL versions for their Windows CE 6 and 7 based systems which are used 
for metal fabrication and other related tasks (such as a laser cutter). 
A couple of weeks ago, I compiled cURL 8.11.1 (and it's dependencies) 
using Visual Studio 2008 - but it did require some patching. The systems 
use libcurl for HTTP transfers to an internal web server to download 
designs and schematics and related files for the machines that they 
control. The application used to use SMBv1, but that's no longer 
available in modern Windows versions due to security issues so they 
brought me in as a contractor to resolve the issue (which I did via 
libcurl).

If I have some time over the weekend or early next week I will boot up 
my Windows VM and find the necessary files and will write up some 
instructions if desired. Do you also want me to submit PRs for the 
patches that I needed to use?

- Doug
