I took a stab at this, and it didn't seem too bad. OpenSSL has scripts
and batch files for building on Win32, including useing VisualC++ - the
only catch is that you have to have Perl to run some config scripts
(ActivePerl worked fine).

Getting neon and svn to use OpenSSL only seems to require changing a
handful of lines in various VisualStudio project files.

Whether it actually works or not, I'm not sure - is there a SVN
repository available somewhere for testing with an https: URL?
