I personally have not used _ssl but on quick inspection I don't see any
of the crypto algorithms implemented, AES, ECDSA, etc.  What if we want
to encrypt or sign content using OpenSSL?  We'd import M2Crypto but when
we go to load the key we'll get an OPENSSL_Applink error.  Likewise for
OpenSSL with xmlsec.

when Microsoft tools and libraries are used to build Python.  It does
not apply to cygwin or mingw where gcc is used.  Likewise, it does not
apply to other platforms, only Windows.
