Thanks Thomas and Jah for discussing this.  I have recompiled OpenSSL
with VC++2008 and updated the ugprade-guide to reflect build changes.

I meant to do this after the VC++2008 switch, but it completely slipped my mind.

I did not do this with nasm and the assembler routines because for
right now I'd like to keep it with what we know works and works fine.
