Yes, someone else also reported that the pass phrase dialog doesn't work
correctly under Win32. But I cannot fix it myself, because I've both no real
Win32 development environment available nor the knowledge to find out what
Win32 dislikes in the mod_ssl/OpenSSL dialog. And I have also to admit that
fixing Win32-*only* bugs is maximum low-priority on my TODO list, of course.
So if you want the dialog fixed for Win32, you have to help me in finding out
the problem. Where are the Win32 hackers under us? Can someone help us here
and provide a patch to make the dialog working under this Win32 environment?
