I haven't actually tried building OpenSSL under windows, but if the OpenSSL
is compiled as a DLL, the size of the DLL shouldn't be too relevant.
(Unless you are worried about download times for the DLL) If it is built as
a library, it is quite likely that the actual size when integrated into an
executable will be much much smaller, since the linker will remove unused
functions, data.
