[pyOpenSSL] Build on Windows with Python 2.3.3

[Remy C. C. <dev...@sm...>]

Having read all info on compiling Openssl-0.9.7c and pyOpenSSL-0.5.1 
with Ming32 under Windows, I started the (never ending?) journey.

Compiling OpenSSL went flawlessly (ms/mingw32.bat) and all test's ran 
without problems.

Compiling pyOpenSSL got stuck on not finding the library libeay32. 
Then I remembered that mingw appends lib to the library names 
automatically, so after removing lib from libeay32 and changing 
ssleay32 into ssl32 in setup.py, it got back on track.

As you can see, no (real) problems, but importing OpenSSL in python 
fails. Rand imports OK, but crypto and SSL give the error that the 
DLL can not be found on the system. I first had problems with rand 
too, but a recompile solved that problem. Now the other 2.

Anyone with a clue, pointers or perhaps a working module for python 
2.3 ?
