Re: Help building ssh.dll on Windows.

[Gearoid Murphy <gearoid.murphy@xxxxxx>]

zlib can be disabled by passing '-DWITH_ZLIB=No' to CMake.

OpenSSL is better built and installed manually (in my opinion)

The best guide for building on Windows is here: 
http://www.ski-epic.com/2007_notes_on_openssl/index.html
Once you 'make' and 'make install' OpenSSL, you'll have a path for the 
OpenSSL library (libeay32.lib) and the include directory.

Pass the location of these parameters to CMake using the 
'OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIRS' and 'OPENSSL_LIBRARIES' parameters.

A simple example of invoking cmake via python:

    params.append("cmake")
    params.append("-DWITH_STATIC_LIB=Yes")
    params.append("-DWITH_ZLIB=No")
    params.append("-DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES=%s"%(buildMode))
    params.append("-DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=%s"%(opensslLib))
    params.append("-DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIRS=%s"%(opensslIncDir))
    params.append("-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%s"%(deployDir))
