This patch doesn't work on Windows, which I think is because it pulls in
pgcrypto even in builds without OpenSSL. Poking at that led me to realize that
we can simplify even more with this. The conditonal source includes can go
away and be replaced with a simple OBJS clause, and with that the special hacks
in Mkvcbuild.pm to overcome that.

Attached is a diff on top of your patch to do the above. I haven't tested it
on Windows yet, but if you think it's in the right direction we'll take it for
a spin in a CI with/without OpenSSL.

Now, *if* we merge the NSS patch this does introduce special cases again which
this rips out. I prefer to try and fix them in that patch to keep avoiding the
need for them rather than keep them on speculation for a patch which hasn't
been decided on.
