IIRC, the compile error messages you posted to john-dev at the time
indicated that you simply did not have OpenSSL development libraries
installed in your MinGW tree, and you did not correct that and try
again.  Thus, that test compile says nothing about whether MinGW make
target worked in JtR -jumbo at the time or not. ;-)
