For the 2.3.1 Windows binaries, I've followed the instructions in
PCBuild\readme.txt and downloaded the sources for the additional
packages. I have

  bzip2-1.0.2.tar.gz
  db-4.1.25.NC.zip
  tcl843-src.zip
  tk843-src.zip
  openssl-0.9.7b.tar.gz

and zlib-1.1.4.

All these versions are exactly those the readme file mentions, with the
exception of openssl. Quote from the PCBuild\readme.txt:

    Get the latest source code for OpenSSL from
        http://www.openssl.org

    You (probably) don't want the "engine" code.  For example, get
        openssl-0.9.6g.tar.gz
    not
        openssl-engine-0.9.6g.tar.gz

    Unpack into the "dist" directory, retaining the folder name from
    the archive - for example, the latest stable OpenSSL will install as
        dist/openssl-0.9.6g

    You can (theoretically) use any version of OpenSSL you like - the
    build process will automatically select the latest version.

Is it important to use the same openssl version that Python 2.3.0 used,
or is the readme file correct in saying that the latest version is the
one to use? And does this have to be mentioned somewhere (Misc/NEWS, the
readme file for windows)?
