+Two version of openssl libraries :
+
+1)	Windows(VC++)
+
+	Linking		:	Statically linked library
+	Extension	:	.lib
+
+2)  Windows(MinGW)
+
+	Linking		:   Statically linked library
+	Extension	:	.a
+				
+How to build openssl library for MinGW ?
+				
+1)Download the source code for openssl 9.7b version from http://www.openssl.org/ openssl-0.9.7b.tar.gz (currently we support 9.7b)
+
+2) 	untar it using  tar -zxvf openssl-0.9.7b.tar.gz
+
+3)	release version :
+	run ms/mingw32.bat in cygwin : It will generate  libcrypto.a in /out directory, which is a static version (Release) of openssl.
+
+4)	debug version :
+
+	a)	replace  line  " perl util/mk1mf.pl gaswin  Mingw32 >ms/mingw32a.mak "  with "perl util/mk1mf.pl gaswin debug Mingw32 >ms/mingw32a.mak"
+	b)	run ms/mingw32.bat in cygwin : it will generate libcrypto.a in /out.dbg directory which is a static version (Debug) of openssl.
