[pyOpenSSL] Error in source for Win32 build for version 0.6

[<Rob...@cs...>]

Hi,

I have been trying to build -
* pyOpenSSL (0.6)
* WinXP
* Visual C v7.0=20
* Python 2.3.5
* OpenSSL 0.9.8
and encountered the following error -

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\cl.exe /c
/nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GX /DNDEBUG -I..\openssl-0.9.8\inc32

Basically on line 27 of src\crypto\x509name.h, the typedef X509_NAME has
been overridden by a #define in wincrypt.h.  To Fix this problem we need
to add the following lines to x509name.h (anywhere after the #include
and before the crypto_X509NameObj structure) -

---
#ifdef OPENSSL_SYS_WIN32
#undef X509_NAME /* Wincrypt.h overrides this */
#endif
---

I hope this helps.
