Cryptography on Windows

Is there a nice cryptography library for Windows which I'll be able to compile without mingw/cygwin?
CryptoAPI is dildos because you have to dick around with KeyContainers and ServiceProviders and other ENTERPRISE bullshit.

Over a half of home PC users still use XP. Did you read the post where I said that I'm targeting Windows because it's the best platform for hosting a botnet? I can't very well display a message box saying
You need a newer version of the Windows® Operating System to be a part of my botnet. Please upgrade and then double-click this executable again
, can I?
Though I'm sure that there are people who would upgrade because of that.
