[boost] Build: Trying to get Boost.Build to see my OpenSSL on Windows

I'm trying to build the Asio SSL examples but bjam can't find my
OpenSSL installation on Windows (using Visual Studio 2015). Everything
else builds. And I am having the dickens of a time finding any
information on the web about mixing Windows, OpenSSL, and bjam.

As a last resort I've thrown a hail mary to StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39800333/how-do-i-get-bjam-to-set-include-paths-for-openssl-headers-and-libraries-on-msvc

I'm not clear on what this line does on Windows using MSVC:

   lib ssl ;

The line appears in Asio Jamfiles that use OpenSSL.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.
