Description

Currently, eay32 is the library that's used in libhdfspp for Windows. Whereas, we use libcrypto for the rest of the platforms. As per the following mail thread, the OpenSSL library was renamed from eay32 to libcrypto from OpenSSL version 1.1.0 onwards - https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-dev/2016-August/008351.html.

Thus, we need to use libcrypto on Windows as well to ensure that we standardize the version of the OpenSSL libraries used across platforms.
