Anyway, glad to hear somebody else is finding this useful.  I rather

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.

Please don't include the DLL files (or OpenSSL installer or whatever)
as part of the patch.  Just tell me where to download those and where
to place them so that the new installer/project finds them.

If this does not increase the Nmap Windows installer size too
dramatically, I would like to have the functionality.

Cheers,

The end-user required DLLs from Thomas' instructions are sizes like so:
libeay32.dll - 1,028,096 bytes
ssleay32.dll - 200,704 bytes

You'd still need other files for the actual compiling though.
libeay32MT.lib - 667,648 bytes
ssleay32MT.lib - 53,248 bytes
and other files that are 'included'
