Hi Brant,

Yeah, I know what you mean about the date/time.  Fortunately, I have
control over the WinCE devices that my software runs on, so an invalid
date/time is not a problem for me.

As for the source of randomness, it looks like the 0.9.8 release makes
the appropriate set of WinCE calls to generate randomness.  In
crypto/rand/rand_win.c, there is a call to CryptAcquireContext and
then CryptGenRandom.  I assume these are working correctly.

Have you had any contact with the openssl developers?  I would like to
feed some of the tweeks back to them, or at least document them, so
that others can benefit from our experiences....

Thanks,
Michael
