Keeping in mind what Mark said (official builds do not currently require
this dependency), I thought I'd just answer where the dependency comes from.
Within the Head branch there is optionally support to download dictionary
hash files. This support is either compiled in or not, but if it is, the
library used to perform the download makes use of the WS2 lib. I am
uncertain whether libcurl can be linked with winsock 1 (and still work)
as the official source links with the winsock 2 library. Hopefully the
TWiki pages are more clear now that this is not usually a required dll.
