Re: [PATCH 1/1] contrib/buildsystems: fix Visual Studio Debug configuration

> This patch addresses 3 connected bugs:
> 1) Typo in '\(Configuration)'. As a result, Debug configuration
>    condition is always false and Release path is taken instead.
> 2) Regexp that replaced 'zlib.lib' with 'zlibd.lib' was only affecting
>    the first occurrence. However, some projects have it listed twice.
>    Previously this bug was hidden, because Debug path was never taken.
>    I decided that avoiding double -lz in makefile is fragile and I'd
>    better replace all occurrences instead.
> 3) In Debug, 'libcurl-d.lib' should be used instead of 'libcurl.lib'.
