Comment(by ultramage):

 Slight clarification. This issue occurs when using a static openssl
 library build. The alternative is to use the shared dll library build,
 which already has the abovementioned dependencies included. Still, there
 is no harm including them, since the linker will just skip them when it
 finds no used references.

 Currently the expert bundle is built in an all-static mode, while the
 browser bundle uses the dll approach. In this case the static version
 would be the preferred one, since there is no sharing going on anyway, and
 it's a good idea to avoid introducing the dlls in situations where they
 might end up in PATH or colliding with another version.
