Well at least part of the idea was not to assume the person compiling
OpenSSL had MSDN membership (don't you need one of the $$$ ones to get
the Win95 SDK?) or had NT for that matter.
Is there a small download that is extractable on say Win95 containing
MASM? The stuff I've seen needs Win98 or NT and needs a huge download
not to mention several of the links being broken. There's enough
complaints about having to install perl as it is...
