Ok, my previous statement was probably wrong. The point is that I have had 
those libssl32.dll installed in windows/system32, but I have no idea at all 
where they came from. I even wrote shell scripts that checked *every* 
executable in PATH via http://dependencywalker.com whether it relied on those 
obnoxius DLLs. What turned up were only 
* the statically linked openssl.exe of msysDTK 
* the svn executable which ships its own DLL into its bin directory
* and the actual openssl installation from source.

Nothing unusual. No idea where these originally came from. Maybe we should 
adapt the error message a little bit... but clearly no error that we can 
influence.
