[PATCH 2/4] msvc: Fix an "unrecognized option" linker warning

From: Ramsay Jones <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:48:04

Having recently added support for building git-imap-send on
Windows, we now link against OpenSSL libraries, and the linker
issues the following warning:

    warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/lssl'; ignored

In order to suppress the warning, we change the msvc linker
script to translate an '-lssl' parameter to the ssleay32.lib
library.

Note that the linker script was already including ssleay32.lib
(along with libeay32.lib) as part of the translation of the
'-lcrypto' library parameter.  However, libeay32.dll does not
depend on ssleay32.dll and can be used stand-alone, so we remove
ssleay32.lib from the '-lcrypto' translation.

The dependence of ssleay32.dll on libeay32.dll is represented in
the Makefile by the NEEDS_CRYPTO_WITH_SSL build variable.

Also, add the corresponding change to the buildsystem generator.
