   The OpenSSL ``ssl`` library, if found.
 ``OpenSSL::Crypto``
   The OpenSSL ``crypto`` library, if found.
+``OpenSSL::applink``
+  The OpenSSL ``applink`` components that might be need to be compiled into
+  projects under MSVC. This target is available only if found OpenSSL version
+  is not less than 0.9.8. By linking this target the above OpenSSL targets can
+  be linked even if the project has different MSVC runtime configurations with
+  the above OpenSSL targets. This target has no effect on plaforms other than
+  MSVC.
+
+NOTE: Due to how ``INTERFACE_SOURCES`` are consumed by the consuming target,
+unless you certainly know what you are doing, it is always prefered to link
+``OpenSSL::applink`` target as ``PRIVATE`` and to make sure that this target is
+linked at most once for the whole dependency graph of any library or
+executable:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+   target_link_libraries(myTarget PRIVATE OpenSSL::applink)
+
+Otherwise you would probably encounter unexpected random problems when building
+and linking, as both the ISO C and the ISO C++ standard claims almost nothing
+about what a link process should be.
 
 Result Variables

@@ -45,6 +66,10 @@ This module will set the following variables in your project:
   All OpenSSL libraries and their dependencies.
 ``OPENSSL_VERSION``
   This is set to ``$major.$minor.$revision$patch`` (e.g. ``0.9.8s``).
+``OPENSSL_APPLINK_SOURCE``
