Summary: The _ssl build process for 2.3.5 is broken

Initial Comment:
I have attempted to build the _ssl library for 2.3.5
and it is broken (see attached output 1).  Basically it
is complaining that the _ssl.pyd file could not be
build because several symbols
(GetUserObjectInformation, etc) could not be linked. 
Those symbols are suppose to be located in
User32.[lib|dll].  Appending User32.lib to line 15 of
_ssl.mak fixed this problem (see attachment 2).

Hopefully this will be helpful for other people that
also had build problems with the ssl library.

Regards
Robert Cheung

You are using an unsupported version of OpenSSL. Please try
