HB_WITH_CURL is necessary when building Harbour and/or 
when creating import libraries. Not needed when using 
hbcurl.hbc, since at this point all the required libs 
should be in Harbour lib dir.

Simplest example:

1. Setup HB_WITH_*
2. set HB_BUILD_IMPLIB=yes
3. Build Harbour
4. Pass hb*.hbc to hbmk2 cmdline to create app.

No need to modify it.

Yes, you have to pass it to hbmk2.

Why do you insist on -lhbcurl? ;) It's not needed.
Otherwise it's right.

'-hbcs=' is not an cmdline option, but an .hbc option (something 
you use _in_ an .hbc file). Not needed here.
