Mark Vadoc has offered implementation only based on Windows crypto API. OpenSSL

IMHO the question of support https in libxml is actual and if question only in
change of implementation with usage existing API I can finish a patch. I agree
that by default support libxml should be excluded. Should I to finish a patch
or we'll stop on Mark Vadoc's implementation?
