You are out of luck since iMatix has chosen to not dynamically link OpenSSL
and OpenSSL options have to be specified at compile time.  If iMatix had
dynamically linked XiPro, they could have used the Win32 OpenSSL
Installation Project and avoided this issue altogether.

You can always try asking for a special build that uses either dynamic
linking or no SSL v2 support.

Hope this helps!
