OpenSSL1.0.0e+Net::SSLeay on Windows

I managed to get Net::SSLeay to work with the latest OpenSSL release. Here are just some notes for myself.

OpenSSL test-suite build will fail but the .a and the openssl.exe files are ok.

The openssl.exe binary is in apps/ on Windows, not bin. Net::SSLeay's Makefile.PL file fails to find the OpenSSL distribution because of that.

The patch to apply to get Net::SSLeay to build.
