Just guessing: CryptGenRandom function to help gather entropy (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379942(v=vs.85).aspx). I know OpenSSL can also do a heap walk, too. Perhaps it does both. I also believe OpenSSL interacts with Windows certificate store.

Seem dependent on proper compile, and proper configuration of OpenSSL in order to enable the engine, but it's in there. Lou Picciano
