 rely on CRYPTO_malloc_init() solving your problem, and you should
 consistently use the multithreaded library.

 Linking your application
 ------------------------

 If you link with static OpenSSL libraries [those built with ms/nt.mak],
 then you're expected to additionally link your application with
 WSOCK32.LIB, ADVAPI32.LIB, GDI32.LIB and USER32.LIB. Those developing
 non-interactive service applications might feel concerned about linking
 with latter two, as they are justly associated with interactive desktop,
 which is not available to service processes. The toolkit is designed
 to detect in which context it's currently executed, GUI, console app
 or service, and act accordingly, namely whether or not to actually make
 GUI calls.

 If you link with OpenSSL .DLLs, then you're expected to include into
 your application code small "shim" snippet, which provides glue between
 OpenSSL BIO layer and your compiler run-time. Look up OPENSSL_Applink
 reference page for further details.
