I built openssl 0.9.6b (it passed its tests) using the Perl that comes
with Cygwin, as opposed to Active State Perl, which your documentation
recommends.  I was using Perl version 5.6.1-2.

I *think* that, with the previous version (5.6.1-1) of Perl,
`./Configure no-threads CygWin32' failed, although the details escape
me, alas.

So: you might want to apply this patch:

cd d:/cygwin/usr/local/src/openssl-0.9.6b/
/cygdrive/d/cygwin/bin/diff -wu
"d:/cygwin/usr/local/src/openssl-0.9.6b/INSTALL.W32~"
"d:/cygwin/usr/local/src/openssl-0.9.6b/INSTALL.W32"
