[RPL/2] After 4 years, still another problem with building OpenSSL and RPL/2 -- Ncurses is also broken as well

	I'm not sure that --witnout-ncurses and --without-openssl work. But you 
can try to build RPL/2 with --disable-recursive. Of course, you must 
have a prebuild version of all required tools:
- file
- gnuplot (if you want gnuplot)
- gpp
- gsl
- libiconv
- libsigsegv
- libXpm/motif (if you want Motif support)
- ncurses
- readline
- sqlite
- units
- zlib

	I don't have any Windows workstation, thus I cannot help you. But 
please note that ncurses configuration fails with :
checking for uuencode... yes
Applying script ../ncurses-5.9-20120616.sh
patching...
patch: **** Can't create temporary file 
../ncurses-5.9-20120616.sh.gz/pp1gtCbE : Not a directory
Applying patch ../ncurses-5.9-20120622.patch.gz
patch: **** Can't create temporary file 
../ncurses-5.9-20120616.sh.gz/pp6IOKfB : Not a directory

	It's a ncurses related bug (or a cygwin one). I don't know why patch 
doesn't work as expected.

	I'm not sure also that rplcas can be built without patches under 
cygwin. You should in a first time try --disable-rplcas and without 
--build. If openssl build process aborts with error, you should use 
--with-openssl-arch=xxx.
