Let's discuss that on Skype with a few other persons or during this we 
as you suggested in Gerrit.

Adding new requirements is not something I'd like to have to. On *nix 
systems I'd say that OpenSSL is not a big deal but even there, security 
policy may make access to the /dev/urandom device possibly a problem. On 
Windows, it's - let's face it - not totally trivial to make it run.

What is missing may still be added there :)
