[PYTHON-CRYPTO] win32 no OPENSSL_Applink fatal error - a trial

I really want to see OpenSSL/M2Crypto work on Windows without having  
to ask arguably the least capable to compile their Python from  
scratch.  I've played with _m2crypto.i and __init__.py and me with no  
success.  ...but that may because I was going at it wrong.  Please  
check my work and I'll try any reasonable suggestion.

Here is my diff file.  Suggestions are needed.  Clues anybody?
