Provide Windows binaries for OpenSSL in order to develop without Perl #40

Description

OpenSSL requires Perl to build, however it does not depend on Perl to run. Not all developers have Perl installed and, for developers like me, the only reason for installing Perl runtime is to just compile OpenSSL. It would be much better if we can make use of this library just "Out of Box", without any weird dependencies.

Windows is an Application Ecosystem of Microsoft, and it will be beneficial for Microsoft to optimize this ecosystem. Since the binaries are provided by Microsoft, they are able to be considered "official" and "trustworthy" just as the OpenSSL binaries for Ubuntu provided by Canonical (and the upstream Debian).

Thank you for your attention!
