We have liftoff! I built Asio's SSL example with these lines in my
site-config.jam:

import os ;
using msvc ;
local OPENSSL_ROOT = [ os.environ OPENSSL_ROOT ] ;
project
  : requirements
    <include>$(OPENSSL_ROOT)/include
    <library-path>$(OPENSSL_ROOT)/lib
  ;

Thanks everyone for helping me slog through this
