Updated openssl support on VC6. (openssl-0.9.6g is old, cannot compile with _ssl.c)
If you use http://svn.python.org/projects/external/openssl-0.9.8g, Perl is not needed.
This scheme was ported from PCBuild.

You (probably) don't want the "engine" code. For example, get
- openssl-0.9.6g.tar.gz
+ openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
not
- openssl-engine-0.9.6g.tar.gz
+ openssl-engine-0.9.8g.tar.gz
Unpack into the "dist" directory, retaining the folder name from
the archive - for example, the latest stable OpenSSL will install as
- dist/openssl-0.9.6g
+ dist/openssl-0.9.8g
You can (theoretically) use any version of OpenSSL you like - the
build process will automatically select the latest version.
