On Windows from Node 6.3.0 onwards the OpenSSL symbols are exported so we don't need to look for them. Further, OpenSSL 1.1.0 onwards has renamed the libraries so not relying on a given name means we don't have to detect which version is installed.

I'm looking for a new maintainer: https://github.com/quartzjer/ursa#maintainer-needed |
|
I guess the first question is what are the alternatives if ursa went away? |

I have had no success install ursa on Node 6.10.0 or 7.6.0 on Windows 10. When you said 6.3.0 did you mean that version or earlier? |

@davedoesdev it's been awhile since you worked on this, how do you feel about it?

On Windows, Node 6.3.0 exports the OpenSSL symbols which means we don't have to look for them. It also means we don't have hassle when OpenSSL change their library names as happened in 1.1.0.
Note if this change goes in then on Windows ursa would require Node 6.3.0 or above.
I'm not sure whether this would be an acceptable price to pay for more reliable Windows support going forward.
