4. Build OpenSSL with cross_mingw32.sh script.

I ran instead ./Configure --cross-compile-prefix=i586-mingw32msvc- mingw shared zlib-dynamic && make it seems to have worked fine

I'll update the documentation. This step should produce:

/usr/src/openssl-1.0.0d-i586/libcrypto.dll.a

The first few compile steps work fine, but I get stuck on:

...i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto.dll

Normally gcc option "-lfoo" links "libfoo.a" or "libfoo.so".

Mingw does not grok dlls directly. Instead it statically links a stub that subsequently loads the dll at runtime.
