 Cygwin implements a Posix/Unix runtime system (cygwin1.dll) on top of the
 Windows subsystem and provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment.
 Consequently, a make of OpenSSL with Cygwin is virtually identical to the
 Unix procedure. It is also possible to create Windows binaries that only
 use the Microsoft C runtime system (msvcrt.dll or crtdll.dll) using
 MinGW. MinGW can be used in the Cygwin development environment or in a
 standalone setup as described in the following section.
 Unix procedure.

 To build OpenSSL using Cygwin, you need to:

 * Install Cygwin (see http://cygwin.com/)

 * Install Perl and ensure it is in the path. Both Cygwin perl
   (5.6.1-2 or newer) and ActivePerl work.
 * Install Cygwin Perl and ensure it is in the path. Recall that
   as least 5.10.0 is required.

 * Run the Cygwin bash shell

 It is also possible to create "conventional" Windows binaries that use

 Linking your application
 ------------------------

 If you link with static OpenSSL libraries then you're expected to
 additionally link your application with WS2_32.LIB, ADVAPI32.LIB,
 GDI32.LIB and USER32.LIB. Those developing non-interactive service
 applications might feel concerned about linking with the latter two,
 as they are justly associated with interactive desktop, which is not
 available to service processes. The toolkit is designed to detect in
 which context it's currently executed, GUI, console app or service,
 and act accordingly, namely whether or not to actually make GUI calls.
 Additionally those who wish to /DELAYLOAD:GDI32.DLL and /DELAYLOAD:USER32.DLL
 and actually keep them off service process should consider
 implementing and exporting from .exe image in question own
 _OPENSSL_isservice not relying on USER32.DLL.
 E.g., on Windows Vista and later you could:

	__declspec(dllexport) __cdecl BOOL _OPENSSL_isservice(void)
	{   DWORD sess;
	    if (ProcessIdToSessionId(GetCurrentProcessId(),&sess))
	        return sess==0;
	    return FALSE;
	}

 If you link with OpenSSL .DLLs, then you're expected to include into
 your application code small "shim" snippet, which provides glue between
 OpenSSL BIO layer and your compiler run-time. See the OPENSSL_Applink
 manual page for further details.
