I saw that, but the CMakelists.txt for the examples still explicitly
adds OPENSSL_LIBRARIES to the link, and CMake complains about it being
set to not found. That change is among the others that I made

No. As far as I can tell, everything builds cleanly on Linux. As it
turns out, I rolled back both to a virgin 0.9-devel and a 0.8.1-devel
and tried to build against a static boost without any of the CMake
hackery (except the OpenSSL one for the examples), and still couldn't
build.

Has anyone tried to build with VS 2010 before this? I saw some
references to VS 2008 on the list, but none for VS 2010.
