Hm, after reading more of our MSVC code it seems like building with MSVC 
does not really use switch, people rather have to create a config.pl. Is 
that correct? The MSVC scripts also seems to only support uuid-ossp 
which it just calls $config->{uuid}.

If so we could either have:

$config->{ssl} = "openssl";
$config->{sslpath} = "/path/to/openssl";

or

$config->{ssl} = "openssl";
$config->{openssl} = "/path/to/openssl";

or

$config->{openssl} = "/path/to/openssl";
vs
$config->{gnutls} = "/path/to/gnutls";
