The Group item is for changing the configuration of a group of files.

// turns off optimization for file1.cpp and file2.cpp
Group {
     // optional condition
     files: ['file1.cpp', 'file2.cpp']
     cpp.optimization: "off"
}

Your groups do not contain files so it basically does nothing.
In that case we should yield an error.

Using the Properties item should work though.

Properties {
    condition: sharedSsl == true
    cpp.dynamicLibraries: ["eay32", "ssl32"]
}

What not works is the following:

---snip---
// [1]
cpp.dynamicLibraries: ["somelib"]

Properties {
    condition: sharedSsl == true
    // [2]
    cpp.dynamicLibraries: ["eay32", "ssl32"]
}
---snap---

The binding [1] would be unconditional and [2] would be a second binding 
to the same property, if sharedSsl is true.
There cannot be more than one binding to a property.
Are you hitting that case?

To solve this you can have a more complex binding:
---snip---
cpp.dynamicLibraries: {
     var libs = ["somelib"]
     if (sharedSsl)
         libs = libs.concat(['eay32', 'ssl32'])
     else
         libs = libs.concat(['crypto', 'ssl'])
     return libs
}
---snap---
