I have attempted to build the _ssl library for 2.3.5
and it is broken (see attached output 1). Basically it
is complaining that the _ssl.pyd file could not be
build because several symbols
(GetUserObjectInformation, etc) could not be linked.
Those symbols are suppose to be located in
User32.[lib|dll]. Appending User32.lib to line 15 of
_ssl.mak fixed this problem (see attachment 2).

Hopefully this will be helpful for other people that
also had build problems with the ssl library.

Regards
Robert Cheung
