I got my application to compile and link.  It seemed to run OK, but when 
I tried to run it on a different Windows machine, it failed with a pop 
up dialog complaining it could not find LIBEAY32.dll.  I 'thought' I was 
statically linking this library, but apparently not.  I have no idea how 
it worked on the one machine.  What is the magic incantation to get 
Visual Studio to statically link the OpenSSL libraries?
