+Static linking of Microsoft's C RunTime (CRT):
+==============================================
+If you are using mode=static nmake will create and link to the static build of
+libcurl but *not* the static CRT. If you must you can force nmake to link in
+the static CRT by passing RTLIBCFG=static. Typically you shouldn't use that
+option, and nmake will default to the DLL CRT. RTLIBCFG is rarely used and
+therefore rarely tested. When passing RTLIBCFG for a configuration that was
+already built but not with that option, or if the option was specified
+differently, you must destroy the build directory containing the configuration
+so that nmake can build it from scratch.
