Comment:

 I attached a patch from 'rsavoye' that seems to solve the problem.

 Note: When I initially tried the patch, I got this error:
 {{{
 gcc -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Werror -I/usr/local/include
 -I/usr/local/ssl/include -g -O2   -o obfsproxy.exe  obfs_main.o
 libobfsproxy.a -L/usr/local/lib -levent -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl
 -lcrypto -mwindows @ws32_LIBS@
 gcc.exe: @ws32_LIBS@: No such file or directory
 }}}

 I had to revert the changes that the patch does to `configure.ac` (that
 is, I had to uncomment AX_LIB_WINSOCK2 again). Then the patch worked.
