I would like to check in a patch for http://www.python.org/sf/576711, which adds the ssl module to Windows builds.

Good work, Mark. Don't wait for me -- it appears that most of my Windows Python work has become "spare time" activity.

The only slightly controversial thing is how the build process operates.

It's just a bit of a mess. I don't mind installing a current Perl, if that's what it takes.

I have quoted the relevant part of PCbuild/readme.txt below. testsocketssl passes once this is built, and at least 2 other people have reported build success.

Are there any objections to the scheme? Should I check it in?

Please do; that will force the issues in a helpful way.
