There's sufficient information in the report for anyone not distracted 
with composing notes of condescension.  Give some of us some credit for 
having some experience.  The world-weary, oh here's another one to deal 
with, is a bit thin with overuse.

For anyone interested I grabbed an SRTP.H off the net and dropped it 
into SSLROOT:[INCLUDE] (OPENSSL:) and the code compiles and runs fine. 
Should have thought to do this before bothering with c.o.v.

My thanks again to Polarhome for making these kits available, and it 
looks like the kit build procedure needs a tweak.
