running build.bat fails on curl download

[bsenftner]

Just git cloned, on a Win10 system with Visual Studio Community 2015, executing from a VS2015 native tools command prompt, as administrator. After downloading curl.zip build.bat fails to open the file as an archive. The curl.zip file size is zero bytes, btw.

Here's the output:

Processing archive: curl.zip

Error: Can not open file as archive

There is more output after this, but it relates to files not being found that should have been in the zip.

This is also happening on the appveyor build.

It's worse than that, the current code has badly formatted statements which actually wouldn't work anyway.
