This option doesn't work. Even with pyOpenSSL installed on my system, the
Tahoe setup insists on trying to build it again. This is after installing it
from an MSI package. I have not been able to build it from source because I
can't figure out how to tell it how to find the OpenSSL header files. I have
them installed in the default place (C:\OpenSSL\include), but it doesn't find
them there, and the setup.py build command doesn't seem to allow any
parameters to specify include paths, etc.

When I can successfully build pyOpenSSL, I'll try that.
BTW... "an hour's labor"... Ha! I'm up to about 12 hours so far and haven't
managed a single successful Tahoe build and install with any of a large
variety of permutations. Granted, I'm fairly clueless when it comes to both
Windows and Python setuptools stuff, and especially both together, but this
is far from simple.
