In the latest cygwin package fetchmail 6.3.18-1 has been compiled with old 
openssl 0.9.8 library.
This causes errors in ssl certificate validation when connecting to imap or 
pop3 with ssl.
The problem is openssl 1.0.0 and later has different hash generation algorithm 
then previous 0.9.8 version.
So after c_rehash symbolic links to valid certificates have different names 
then fetchmail is looking for.

First I have verified it with strace and have got symbolic link names of 
certificates that fetchmail is looking for.
I created symbolic links with valid names (according to openssl 0.9.8 hashes) 
to existing certificates and fetchmail has worked well.

Finally I have compiled fetchmail 6.3.21 from source with openssl 1.0.1a-1 
library and have got everything working as required.

So this is required to update fetchmail to 6.3.21 and compile it with latest 
openssl 1.0.1a-1 library in the main cygwin package.
