You don't need VS and mingw binary installers, though - the mingw ones will work for any Python (ignoring specialised custom builds, and anyone doing one of them is probably capable of building the ssl module!).
Why I appreciate your points about building the extension with free tools, wouldn't it be prudent to release binaries using the same compiler as Python itself, assuming that option is available? If I read this thread correctly, a mingw build will rely on an openssl DLL being available or installed, which would seem to be less desirable than the way it builds with the openssl Python itself builds with.
