Yes it is simple on Linux thanks to decent package managers. To get qca-ossl 
building on Windows you have to set up your winlocal.prf file. On my machine 
this file contains:

WINLOCAL_PREFIX = D:/OpenSSL

which is where I have installed the OpenSSL package. The OpenSSL headers and 
libraries are obviously needed during the build of qca-ossl. The package I 
used for OpenSSL for windows can be found here:

http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

I used the MSVC compiler (2005 version) so I also had to make sure that I had 
installed the MSVC 2008 vc runtime which is what the OpenSSL libs form that 
site are built against.

Withthe above in place I just did:

configwin.bat rd
qmake
nmake (or jom if you have it installed)

Unfortunately there is no make install target or install script so we need to 
copy the needed files manually such that Qt can find the plugins. Create the 
directory %QTDIR%/plugins/crypto and copy the following files into it:

lib/qca-ossl2.dll
lib/qca-ossld2.dll

Hope this helps,

Sean

ps On Gentoo all of the above was as easy as "emerge -va qca qca-ossl" :-)
