 Hi there,

 I attempted to build Tor 0.3.2.2-alpha with mingw32, but it's giving me
 the following message:

 {{{
 configure: Now, we'll look for OpenSSL >= 1.0.1
 checking for openssl directory... configure: WARNING: Could not find a
 linkable openssl.  If you have it installed somewhere unusual, you can
 specify an explicit path using --with-openssl-dir
 configure: error: Missing libraries; unable to proceed.
 }}}

 The previous versions of Tor didn't have this error. The last version I
 successfully built was 0.3.1.5-alpha. I'm guessing that it has something
 to do with TLSv1_1_method() because it's detecting the 1.0.0 version of
 openssl that is built in with mingw32 and not the 1.0.2l version I
 installed. The previous versions always detected the new version of
 openssl I installed so I'm not sure why it can't detect it now. I even
 tried reinstalling openssl, but I'm still receiving the same message
 above. Please help. Thanks.
