The easiest way in my humble opinion would be to install a script like
this into /mingw/bin/:

-- snip --
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
--vernum)
        version="$(curl -V)" || exit
        version="$(echo "${version%% (*)*}" | tr . \ )"
        eval printf "%02d%02d%02d" ${version#curl }
        ;;
--cflags)
        ;;
--libs)
        echo -lcurl
        ;;
esac
-- snap --

That way, upstream Git does not have anything to change (and we avoid
discussing five versions of essentially the same patch :-P).

Hmm?

Ciao,
Dscho
