build_ssl.py/MSVC isn't clever enough to clean OpenSSL - you must do
this by hand.
Win9x note: If, near the start of the build process, you see
something like
C:\Code\openssl-0.9.7c>set OPTS=no-asm
Out of environment space
then you're in trouble, and will probably also see these errors near
the end of the process:
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make
'crypto\md5\asm\m5_win32.asm'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make

Stop.
You need more environment space. Win9x only has room for 256 bytes
by default, and especially after installing ActivePerl (which fiddles
the PATH envar), you're likely to run out. KB Q230205
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q230205
explains how to edit CONFIG.SYS to cure this.
