Hi,

There appears to be a bug in the "openssl pkcs8" command under Win32 1.0.0a.  I 
am using Win32 binaries from 
(http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html).

The command "openssl pkcs8 -in \test.pem" should accept a pkcs#8 file and 
output traditional format.

With v0.9.8o the above command produces the expected output; which has the 
header "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----". The gnuwin32 compilation of 0.9.8h 
also produces the expected output.

However, under OpenSSL 1.0.1a the same command produces PKCS#8 output, which 
has the header "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----".

There doesn't appear to be any option to produce traditional format; which is 
required for compatibility.
