- 2.5.3 had a typo in the CVE ID (CVE-2121-3606 should be -2021-)
- 2.5.5 had windows paths with backslashes, which need to be doubled

(CVE ID typo also reported by "@attritionorg" in Github PR 165)

"openssl.cfg" --> "openssl.cnf" please (x2)

Also, we use "ssl" instead of "SSL" in the source (win32.c). If the
installer also creates the folder as "ssl" it is arguably "more
correct" to use the lowercase name in documentation as that's how it
will show up in the file system. I haven't checked what case the
installer uses. Just nit-picking.
