@wangweij, just a quick follow-up to make sure this change makes sense given 
the value of PATH variable on some of those machines (I mentioned it in the 
comment above). It appears it is true that openssl is indeed found inside 
/usr/local/bin directory, but on Cygwin-based systems, this actually translates 
to something like "C:\Cygwin\usr\local\bin" system path. Since we are 
explicitly passing "/usr/local/bin/openssl" to the process launcher, it fails 
to launch on such machines. We could have probably passed "C:\Cygwin...", but 
that would indicate some sort of prior knowledge towards where Cygwin is 
installed exactly. Hence, just an additional attempt with no absolute paths 
could succeed.
