* findssl() is along way from working on Windows. Python itself uses magic to locate an SSL directory in the main Python directory's parent. On my system, this is c:\src\openssl-0.9.7e, but obviously that could be almost anywhere, and with almost any name. See PCBuild\buildssl.py and PCBuild_ssl.mak for the gory details. I'm not sure how you would like to approach this (insist on an environment variable for the top-level SSL dir name?)
Can't we look in the registry for this? We have a working Python; perhaps we can just use a Windows-specific registry lookup to find OpenSSL? (I'm just blue-skying here; I have no clue how things work on Windows.)
