Therefore, whatever version of OpenSSL is installed on the build machine is the version that will be included in the binary egg. How is this different from what the current Windows Installers do?

The Windows installers don't include the OpenSSL DLL. They link against it, or whatever it is that you do to DLLs on Windows. The user is required to install OpenSSL separately from pyOpenSSL such that the DLLs which are linked against can be found.
