[Qt-interest] Getting Openssl working in windows

[Simarillion]

SOLVED

There's no need to recompile anything. In the OpenSSL installation setup I 
could choose wheather I want to copy the OpenSSL DLLs to the Windows system 
directory or to the OpenSSL binaries directory.
They have to be copied to the WIndows system directory, and now it works.

Greats
Michael
