I've downloaded the offical openssl win32 binaries, installed them, run cmake 
to create VS2010 files and compiled it without a problem. If something is 
wrong check your cmake log files.

I'm not a Windows user nor a Windows developer. I just make sure that it 
compiles and works on Windows form time to time. Windows is just a pain for 
me.

You're a Windows developer, aren't you? :)

Use the CMake.exe commandline tool?
