Yup. I have a working build that we're using right now with TLS enabled 
(actually we only use TLS connections: '-h ldaps:///'). I did this by 
first building openssl in windows which works. Note that I did all this 
with VC++, *not* cygwin/gcc/mingw32.

As a side note, a while ago I wrote an SSL socket class which uses 
windows SSPI rather then openssl. Figuring out how to do this was a pain 
but it works reliably. It would be nice to get code into the source that 
would use SSPI rather than openssl. I would be happy to contribute such 
an effort myself but I don't have any spare time to do this.

I wouldn't mind comparing notes with others doing win32 builds. I have a 
working build as I mentioned with a custom backed that hits an oracle 
database. It works but is very slow for some reason. When I'm running it 
in a console window with debug output I can see that it is pausing in 
weird places, eg. after the incoming socket connection is established. 
Watching the behavior from the window I don't think the slowness is 
related to any external (database, ssl) performance problem but is 
rather due to something about how the socket handling is implemented. 
BTW I have a multi-threaded build.
