Building on windows 10 fails due to OpenSSL

[JoeyAcc]

When I try to install a project dependency that uses this, I get an OpenSSL error. I'm using win10 and Node 4.5.0 (which is an actively supported LTS release).

I had this error too: "LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib\libeay32.lib"

I've solved it by installing OpenSSL x64 v1.0.2o instead of the v1.1.0h. It seems that in the 1.1.x branch they have removed the \lib\libeay32.lib static build library file, even in the full version of the installer, but I haven't looked deeper into it.

Edit: Just saw this pull request which adds this information to the readme: https://github.com/JoshKaufman/ursa/pull/147
