[AWS] Trying to build on Windows

[Pascal Obry]

Marius,

Sure wonderful and I would never have worked so long on Windows without
it. Now I've moved to GNU/Debian anyway.

But again, Cygwin /= Win32 and these libraries are NOT compatible with
native applications.

The steps:

1. Install the 2 DLLs you have found in the .zip (if they are native
Win32 ones) with GNAT. I don't remember but I think they should be put
into <gnat_root>/lib.

2. make clean ; rm makefile.setup

3. make SOCKET=openssl setup

4. make

It you still have this error it means the the step one has to be
adjusted for the DLL to be found by the linker.

Hope this help.

Pascal.
