Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do. Building libssh2
on Windows should be a 2-minute job, not an epic project.

Did you follow the instructions here:
https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/blob/master/docs/INSTALL_CMAKE? It
is as simple as open CMake; point cmake at the libssh2 source; give it
a binary directory to output the generated project in; press
'Generate'; choose your version of visual studio.

If you have OpenSSL installed, it will find it automatically. If you
don't, it will use Window's built-in crypto (WinCNG).

When it's finished generating, open the VS project it generated in the
binary directory. Build as you would normally (F7). Done.
