In src/or/Makefile.nmake the LIBS variable refernces third-party libraries
libevent.a, libcrypto.a, libssl.a and libz.a. This file extension confuses
the MSVC linker, which will print warnings about unknown type and
"assuming". Using the .lib file extension is more appropriate since this
is what the linked projects use. Curiously enough, src/test/Makefile.nmake
already has this 'fix', so I'm not sure what happened there.
PS: there's a naming inconsistency: libcrypto -> libeay32, libssl ->
ssleay32, libz -> zlib
these are easily worked around using symlinks, but it makes me wonder if
openssl has a toggle for the legacy/defunct eay product imitation.
