Thanks for your efforts!  I agree that OpenSSL would be great on
Windows.  The main downside I see is that we would have to ship the
OpenSSL DLLs or installer.  Can you give us an idea of how large they
are?  Also, is anyone interested in making a patch to enable this in
the Nmap Windows build system?  It would have to patch the MS Visual C
project files, plus the Nmap NSIS and probably the mswin32/Makefile
too.


I'll have a go at creating the patch this evening.  The only part I'm
unfamiliar with is NSIS, but if I run into issues, I'm sure somebody
more familiar with the build system can help me out.

Thomas
