My main concern is that we don't accumulate hacks and workarounds. So
add it to OpensslLib.inf by all means, but add a comment indicating the
specific issue (OpenSSL RT# under which it was fixed, and/or the commit
in OpenSSL HEAD Which fixed it), and that it's fixed in 1.1 so can be
dropped then.

Otherwise this patch is just building up technical debt, because
*someone* later needs to clean these things up and make sure they're
not stale. Excessive warning-suppression in this code has *already* led
to subtle bugs which the warnings *would* have told us about.
