What's working

- Extracting a backup which was created on windows machine on a non windows machine will fail.
- And many things more.
OpenSSL, Windows and Python
---------------------------
Windows does not ship OpenSSL by default, so we need to get the library from somewhere else.
However, a default python installation does include `libcrypto` which is required by borg.
The only things which are missing to build borg are the header and `*.lib` files.
Luckily the python developers provide all required files in a separate repository.
The `win-download-openssl.ps1` script can be used to download the package from
https://github.com/python/cpython-bin-deps and extract the files to the correct location.
