Hi,
beside this good description below its also possible to do it without MSYS and cofigure;
I have f.e. a pre-compiled OpenSSL for MingW32 on my site:
http://www.gknw.net/development/ossl/win32/openssl_mingw32-0.9.8e.zip
extract this, then set an environment var to point to it, f.e.:
set OPENSSL_PATH=c:/mingw32/openssl-0.9.8e
then change to basedir of curl source and type:
make mingw32-ssl

greetz, Guenter.
