Well, it's more convenient to distribute it that way. The DLL is
meant to be used in a Java application for native function support. When
I load the DLL inside the Java application I only have to add one
statement (System.loadLibrary("https")) instead of worrying if several
DLLs find each other and resolve their mutual dependencies at runtime.
Maybe I am too concerned?

Exactly! Howd'you guess ;-) What should I do then to quiet the compiler?
In the case I finally decide to _dynamically_ link libeay32.dll and
ssleay32.dll into my DLL is there a linker switch that I am not aware
of?

Thanks a lot for the pointer, this looks very interesting.
Cheers.
