If there is an option to prevent that I didn't find it. This is somewhat relevant to me because I'm about to try a Windows XP-compatible build, so having unnecessary exposure to WinAPI of things I don't want it to use anyway is a bit of a liability (although might not be an issue in practice, I'll know soon after tests).

I don't know much about Windows, but I would recommend playing around with
USE_WIN32_CRYPTO - which is checked for automatically by ./configure - as that
macro will include wincrypt.h.
