I did this

  1. I downloaded the latest release from https://curl.haxx.se/download.html.
  2. (I created a dummy file GIT-INFO, because it needs to exist for 3).
  3. I ran buildconf.bat without any errors from cmd.
  4. I cd winbuild.
  5. I ran nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll.
  6. The compilation failed because the file src/tool_hugehelp.c included tool_hugehelp.hd.
  7. I changed tool_hugehelp.hd to tool_hugehelp.h and recompiled. This time succesfully.
  8. I tried to look upsrc\tool_hugehelp.c on github, but the file does not seem to exist there.

buildconf: fix header filename 
The header file inclusion had a typo, it should be .h and not .hd.
Fix by renaming.

Fixes #4102

Np. Quick question. Why does GIT-INFO need to exist btw? The build seems to work fine with just a dummy file.

GIT-INFO signals that the tree comes from a git repository and not a release tarball, and so the configure script needs to be built as it's not included.
