I still don't understand your point.
VNC for Linux and VNC for Windows are actually TWO different applications
anyway - Windows binary doesn't run on Linux and vice versa.
I guess you have to write some batch files/shell scripts to automate the
things you want to do (create a ssh tunnel via either plink or native Linux
ssh client and then run VNC over that tunnel) - you'd have to write TWO
separate ones, one for Windows and the other for Linux.
So, what's the problem with using one command name ("plink") in the Windows
batch file and another ("ssh") in the Linux shell script? Because probably
this will be the only difference - plink is, in fact, nothing more and
nothing less than a Windows implementation of the Linux's "ssh" command...

Hm... AFAIK, stunnel is generally not used for HTTPS (HTTP-over-SSL)
traffic, as both web servers and clients handle this internally. Stunnel is
rather used for running other application protocols, like POP3 or IMAP, over
SSL, when the application does not support SSL natively. This might be of
course the case with VNC as well. I guess you don't actually want to run VNC
over HTTPS (what should be the HTTP protocol used for?) but just wrap it in
SSL...

Surely it depends on OpenSSL. I don't know if it's possible at all to
compile statically with this library.
But you may try to search the Net for a ready static binary stunnel package.
If it's possible to make one, someone has probably already made it.
