BTW: AqBanking doesn't link against OpenSSL and even doesn't use it at all (we 
had to switch to GCrypt due to Debian's unwillingness to ship AqBanking when 
linked against OpenSSL).

However, the library Gwenhywfar contains a console tool ("gct-tool") which 
links against OpenSSL. But this tool is only needed to create and manage 
keyfiles.

Anyway, introducing another MSVC version will most likely lead to other 
problems due to clashing of symbols... One can't predict from which MSVC dll 
symbols are taken if there are multiple MSVC*.dll...


Regards
Martin
