I need to use openssl on a windows box to validate a SHA512 signature.  
The current version of the ruby one-click installer comes packaged with  
OpenSSL version 0.9.7b, which does not support SHA512. Does anyone know  
of plans to upgrade to version 0.9.8, or has anyone managed to find a  
windows binary that can be used in place of the installed exe and dlls?

Many thanks  
Chris
