I simply moved the changes to a branch for further review, partially because
there are incompatible changes to the MSVC build system (which is
technically
a build break).

Meanwhile, the 1.0.2 branch of OpenSSL has a much longer support end-date
(since it's "LTS") than the 1.1.0 branch, e.g.:

https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html

Version 1.1.0 will be supported until 2018-08-31.
Version 1.0.2 will be supported until 2019-12-31 (LTS).

Given that information, I don't see any urgent need to migrate to the
1.1.0 branch of OpenSSL, especially considering the major, incompatible
differences present there.

I think it should work fine after my changes, but feel free to
fix anything I screwed up ;-)

That's your decision (or .. actually Richard's ???) 
In my view, openssl-1.1.0 has a larger user base
than SQLite 1.15, so it should be OK for fossil
trunk. I didn't find anything wrong with it so far.
(I wouldn't recommend it - yet - as default
for the 1.35 branch)
