Do you get OpenSSL libraries from
http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html ?
Though I can find ssleay32(MT]MD)(d).lib in C:\OpenSSL\lib\vc, I can't
find ssleay32(MT|MD)(d).dll. What's the differnce among ssleay32xx.lib ?

Because the driver can live without libpq, ssleay32 or pgenlist.
If you use SSL connections, libpq and ssleay32 are loaded dynamically.
If you enlist in MSDTC, pgenlist(a) is loaeded dynamically.
