I had not tested it under Windows, when I commited it. Sorry.

The build stops because the existing patch to OpenSSL does not apply.

If we disable it, we face another challenge: OpenSSL does not build
with Cygwin's Perl!

I will investigate if we need Strawberry Perl as suggested in the
above link. It's sure this is getting more complex than expected.
