I had understood that you rebuild OpenSSL DLL using BCB. Am I wrong ?

That is very interesting. Maybe you could create a wiki page to
describe the required steps and provide any required file beside
OpenSSl source code. Each person will then decide if the license
allows him to do it or not.

Building was no big problem. But it outputs over 600 .obj files and
two .lib files. They contain plenty of dependancies to other
run-time libraries. So probably a huge effort to get it working in
Delphi. I haven't tried this yet.

Altough using in in Delphi is even more interesting, I was just
thinking about publishing the procedure to rebuild OpenSSL DLL with
C++Builder 2007 and 2009.

If there was a tool to build the DLLs from the .lib files it was easily possible. VS provides such a tool and the MinGW built uses some
third party tool to finally create the DLLs from the compiler output
(forgot their names).
