New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>:

I don't know how official installers are built, but the standard build 
procedure with the Visual Studio files uses a custom checkout of OpenSSL 
0.9.8l. OpenSSL is now at version 1.0.x, which adds security fixes and 
improvements.

I'd suggest upgrade the "custom checkout" to use the latest OpenSSL version, at 
least for dev branches (it may be too disruptive for the bugfix branches, since 
OpenSSL seems to have a history of changing behaviour a bit even between what 
look like minor versions). I don't have an idea how to do this myself, Linux 
being my development platform.
