Add https support to Apache Bench on Windows

I have Apache server 2.2.15 on my Windows 7 machine and I want to run Bench on a server I have using https. But when I run ab [myopts] https://example.com, I get SSL not compiled in; no https support. From what I've read you can compile ab with https support with a flag during the server install.

My question is, considering I already have server installed, what is the easiest/best way to benchmark my server over https?
