[openssl.org #1684] bug: name collision with Windows SDK

[David W. Thomas via RT]

The following produced a series of compiler errors that seem unrelated to
the cause:

 

#include <windows.h>

#include <openssl/des.h>

 

I tracked it down to a name collision of:

 

typedef struct ocsp_response_st OCSP_RESPONSE;

 

within openssl/ossl_typ.h collides with

 

#define OCSP_RESPONSE ((LPCSTR) 67)

 

within WinCrypt.h, a windows header file (Microsoft Windows SDK 6.0A).
There are work-arounds, but the compiler errors led to a few hours of
tracking it down, which, I'm sure, no one else wishes to experience.
