cinst curl - it's there. For the others, just because they are not there yet, doesn't mean they won't be. Creating packages is pretty simple. This is the main part of the curl package: https://github.com/ferventcoder/nugetpackages/blob/master/cu...

Yes, that's true. But I need a sane build environment with development packages. I would like to be able to compile against libcurl and openssl as easy as it is on Ubuntu or Fedora. Something like Cygwin but without the GPL requirement on final builds.
I think CoApp is going to be the answer for what you are trying to do. Chocolatey starts after compilation. If someone is already providing libcurl and openssl, these are easily offered as choco packages. Once CoApp comes out, it's highly likely that there may be some integration with it.
