Hi,
@Xiang Li: THANKS a lot for your instructions, I've got it all working :)

Regarding the headers/libs, I did the following:
set OPENSSLPATH=C:\program Files\OpenSSL-Win64
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;"%OPENSSLPATH%\include"
set LIB=%lib%;"%OPENSSLPATH%\lib\vc\static"
[...]
nmake

Some other questions:
* win32\snmplib\release is not cleared when doing nmake clean. It's the
   only dir that keeps its object files!

* The prefix is hard-coded into the binaries, so I can't offer the user to
   install them to another directory. Is anything planned to improve that?

* win32\Makefile uses spaces instead of tabs, my GVIM marks those with
   red color. Probably nmake ignores that, but should be fixed?

* Why is there an install-net-snmp.bat AND an install target in Makefile?
   They look identical and thus only one should survive. I'd prefer the
   makefile solution because I can give another PREFIX_DOS on cmdline and
   copy the files to my staging dir for MSI creation.

* Finally, how do you build your installers? I could offer a wix script
   for inclusion with netsnmp code (would take some time though, because my
   current style doesn't fit netsnmp build infrastructure at all).

br,
Markus
