Update instructions for OpenSSL 1.0.0a and PCRE 8.10.
Instruct users to install PCRE in the MinGW cross-compiler's directory instead of /usr/{lib,include}/mingw, as it's more standard. (merges [2742] from 0.11)

== Base Directory ==
Choose a directory where you will unpack and compile OpenSSL, Zlib and Box Backup. We will call this the ''base directory''. An example might be:
- C:\Cygwin\Home\Your Username

Make sure you know the full path to this directory.
