Visual C++ cannot build _ssl and _hashlib if newer OpenSSL
is placed in $(dist) directory. This happens on PCbuild.

Python3.2 uses openssl-1.0.0a
Python3.1 and 2.7 uses openssl-0.9.8l

If the directory layout is like this, Python3.1
cannot build _ssl and _hashlib.

python-dev
   +- openssl-0.9.8l
   +- openssl-1.0.0a
   +- py3k
   +- release31-maint
   +- release27-maint

Because build_ssl.py in release31-maint thinks newer
is better, and select openssl-1.0.0a, but pyproject.vsprops
hard-corded $(openssldir) as openssl-0.9.8l. So Modules/ssl.c
cannot import ssl.h and so on.
