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.
