Two points: First, You must be knew to this whole open source thing.
"Completely support"? Come on, I'll betcha not even Shining Light
Productions complete supports its products (i.e., what's
your warranty/liability disclaimers? :) Second, have you read the
INSTALL.W32 file recently? The first sentence under Troubleshooting says
"Since the Win32 build is only tested occasionally, it may not always
compile cleanly." There are a half-dozen internal references to that
section, which itself is 50 lines of "what to do."
Now, having dressed you down a bit, I will say that the openssl team
churned through releases a little too quickly. They should have left the
patches they had, and then done a real fix in a week or so. But, since
this is the first time they've *ever* had to respond to such a situation,
all told it's not a big deal.

I missed the point where you were owed something like this? Fairness
doesn't enter into it. If you want opensource code to be better supported
on your platform than (a) hire someone to do it, (b) do it yourself and
feed changes back.
