Hi, I have solved the issue below and figured I would post the solution in case anyone has a similar issue at some point:
Apparently, the install for Cygwin 1.7 won't let you install this version of OpenSSL anymore. So I solved it by installing Cygwin 1.7, then getting the setup.exe for 1.5, run an install from local directory and with that install the OpenSSL package.
