Compiling CURL staticaly into PHP on Windows

Hey there. I have just been compiling around, now that I have a working build environment. I managed to get the pthreads extension to be "baked into PHP". But cURL sadly won't do that. Even if I specify --with-curl=static, it gets displayed in the outcome of configure as "curl | shared". The only way to re-distribute my PHP with that behavior is to use -d"extension_dir=.\ext" -d"extension=php_curl.dll". But as you can see, this is more or less a not-very-nice solution for a redistribution. Is there anything I could do? I thought about editing config.w32 - but I had my doubts on that one. Kind regards, Ingwie
