Just to clarify: the build instructions I outlined eliminate the need 
for the following DLLs to be included in the directory (and the parcels 
for that matter):

* openssl\out32dll\libeay32.dll
* openssl\out32dll\ssleay32.dll
* zlib\zlib1.dll

The documentation [1] still mentions that you have to copy the files, 
whereas I do not see a need to do so: only the actual .exe files, 
mingwm10.dll and (depending on the "--enable-static-bin" flag) mgwz.dll 
are required. The parcels reflect this, and I can simply copy a parcel 
and unpack it, and the result is a working client.

Best regards, Achim
