On my debian box I was able to build static darcs with libcurl. That
was not as straightforward as with dynamic curl but nothing complex,
really.
Unfortunately I can not try windows build since I do not have a
windows box around. But can you tell me what is the problem with
static curl on windows?

AFAIK Network.HTTP can be used by darcs. It should be detected by
configure and used if neither libcurl nor libwww is available.
