I've downloaded the 'libcurl-7.19.3-win32-ssl-msvc' zip file, and installed
it on my Windows development system.  I intend to link the 'libCurl' static
release library file (lib/Release/curllib_static.lib) with my Windows
application.  I've noticed that the pre-built Release library file is 1857
Kb in length.  On the other hand, the pre-built static Debug library file is
1733 Kb in length. This seems unusual.

No so strange. All lib-files contains the (relative) path of the objects it was
built from. I.e 'release\version.obj' vs 'debug\version.obj'. There are 65 
objects
in each lib. The word 'release' is 2 letters longer than 'debug'. Hence the 
release
lib is rightly 130 bytes larger. There could be other reasons, but why care?
