Let us review:

1) The file exists.
2) The configure is run by a user with the necessary permissions to see
and use the file.
3) The configure program reports it cannot find the file.

The most likely scenario that accounts for the above is that a PATH is
not being found correctly. I will and have admitted to not being
familiar with MinGW, but I pretty certain that my scenario is correct.
You can choose to ignore the above, but my guess is doing so will lead
down the wrong path(sorry, could not resist:)).

If it where me I would try:

--with-includes=/c/OpenSSL-Win32/include
--with-libraries=/c/OpenSSL-Win32/lib/MinGW

Good luck.
