        Please read the OpenSSL documentation on how to compile and install
        the OpenSSL library.  This generates the libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll
        files.
        files in the out32dll subdirectory in the OpenSSL home directory.  If
        you compiled OpenSSL static libraries (libeay32.lib, ssleay32.lib,
        RSAglue.lib) they are created in the out32 subdirectory.

        Run the 'vcvars32.bat' file to get the proper environment variables
        set. Edit the makefile.vc6 in the lib directory and define
        OPENSSL_PATH.  Set the location of the OpenSSL library and run 'nmake
        vc-ssl' in the root directory.

        The vcvars32.bat file is part of the Microsoft development
        environment.
        set. The vcvars32.bat file is part of the Microsoft development
        environment and you may find it in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
        Studio\vc98\bin' if you installed Visual C/C++ 6 in the default
        directory.

        Before running nmake define the OPENSSL_PATH environment variable with
        the root/base directory of OpenSSL, for example:

          set OPENSSL_PATH=c:\openssl-0.9.6b

        Then run 'nmake vc-ssl' or 'nmake vc-ssl-dll' in the curl's root
        directory.  'nmake vc-ssl' will create a libcurl static and dynamic
        libraries in the lib subdirectory, as well as a statically linked
        version of curl.exe in the scr subdirectory.  This statically linked
        version is a standalone executable not requiring any DLL at
        runtime. This making method requires that you have build the static
        libraries of OpenSSL available in OpenSSL's out32 subdirectory.
	'nmake vc-ssl-dll' creates the libcurl dynamic library and
	links curl.exe against libcurl and OpenSSL dynamically.
	This executables requires libcurl.dll and the OpenSSL DLLs
	at runtime.
