Generally speaking, I like what you've done here Nick... The comparison is a
lot more informative and information more useful. However I have a few
comments:

* Would it be better to state *nix rather than Unix in the platform list?
* Do we need to include both Windows CE and NT in the platform list - Does
libcurl still compile on CE? Probable answer is yes but I just wanted to
raise the question.
* I'm not sure about the version number for Secure Channel being "Windows
7". In some respects I would rather see v6.1.7601 as that is the version
number for Windows 7 SP1 and covers both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008
R2 but then maybe it should be v6.2.9200 for Windows 8 and Windows Server
2012 being the latest version of the OS.
* Rather than stating "Not present in older versions of OpenSSL" do you know
the required version of OpenSSL for TLS SRP?
* You're missing a full stop at the end of the QSOSSL details line -
"OS/400" should be "OS/400." for consistency ;-)

I hope my feedback helps
