Error building OpenSSL-1.1.1g

[mhkelley2017 at gmail.com]

Thanks! That helped, but I have two follow-ups.

1) To whom would I suggest minor changes to the available installation
instructions to help avoid future such misunderstandings?
2) A subsequent fatal error (should this also be submitted as a new
thread?):

Note that using masm to compile OpenSSL is no longer supported by us
(although it might still work).

Preferred is to use the VC-WIN64A target and the nasm compiler.

If you use the Developer Studio command prompt (64-bit) it should have
all the environment variables set up already to find the various VS tools.
