considering to add openssl? #52

First, I would like to thak you for your great job; your distro is definitively one of my prefered, since it holds many prebuild external libraries and provide a very up-to-date Gcc version.

But it is on which could be interresting to add to your distro as openssl.

It is a very interesting cryptographic C library, often used by developpers (sometimes even very juniors), but compiling it should require Msys2 and some knowledge that some people don't have (yet).

What do you think about this idea?

I'm glad you like my distro. Unfortunately, I don't have enough free time to add and maintain libraries I don't use. (I've already made a small number of exceptions for gdb and winpthreads; I can't keep making more.) You're welcome to develop your own build script for openssl, using my build environment and existing scripts as a base - that way you can still use my distro for the bulk of the work, and add any other components you want.
