If you just need the compiled OpenSSL DLLs and .libs, you
can use the ones we ship with the source package of egenix-pyopenssl:

http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/#Download

The files are in openssl-win32 / openssl-win64.

Those dirs also have batch files which we use to build the
OpenSSL libs on Windows.
