Agreed.  The patch I provided wasn't meant for production uses; it
was just to help developers get started on the Win32 platform.

True, but the provided entropy gatherer for win32 is too slow to be
practical.  On a 1.6Ghz desktop machine under 'normal' load, 1024-bit
DSA signatures take *45 seconds* to compute.  This delay is unacceptable
for my application's handshake phase which is designed to timeout after
30 seconds of inactivity.  Note that the same signing operation takes
1-2 seconds on that same machine when it runs Linux.

Since it sounds like you're not a big fan of switching completely to the
CryptoAPI, would you be interested if I wrote an improved patch to add a
/configure option to include it?
