Legacy Windows and SSL
======================
When you build curl using the build files in this directory the default SSL
-backend will be WinSSL (Windows SSPI, more specifically Schannel), the native
-SSL library that comes with the Windows OS. WinSSL in Windows <= XP is not able
-to connect to servers that no longer support the legacy handshakes and
-algorithms used by those versions. If you will be using curl in one of those
-earlier versions of Windows you should choose another SSL backend like OpenSSL.
