Thanks for your reply!

I use dynamic linking because at OpenSSL have interface 
incompatibilities between version 1.0 and 1.1, and at the time of 
transition between these versions there were no clean and 
reliable way for dub to detect which version installed in system 
(so I was unable to select proper openssl calls at compile time). 
So I decided to load library dynamicaly and check which 
interfaces available during runtime. Here is details:

Also, will static linking work reliable? I'm open to return back 
to static linking if this can be confirmed: 1) static linking 
will work ok for third-party packages installed on Windows, 2) 
with dub I can at compile time detect openssl version installed 
in system
