Comment:

 I'm told by somebody on irc today that openssl 1.0.2 is now unsupported.
 So the folks trying to maintain "static Tor binary on Windows" build
 scripts, such as
 https://gitlab.com/euphrosyne/tor-mingw/blob/master/guide
 are now out of options.

 I wonder how rbm solves this one; I'm cc'ing boklm to find out. Maybe it's
 simply by not making it that static.
