Linking problems in MSVC++

[Don Payette]

Well, the linker is giving me this error, plus other similar errors:

    Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _SSL_CTX_new referenced in
function ...

My code is calling SSL_CTX_new, so it appears something is adding an
underscore on the front.
I looked in libssl.def and SSL_CTX_new is there, but not _SSL_CTX_new.
Anybody know where
the underscore is coming from?
