version 0.8.55,but, when I run it in WINDOWS 2003 SP2,it prints some  
errors,like this:

Auto configuration failed  
1772:error:02001015:system library:fopen:Is a  
directory:.\crypto\bio\bss\_file.c:  
126:fopen(‘e:/openssl/ssl/openssl.cnf’,‘rb’)  
1772:error:2006D002:BIO routines:BIO\_new\_file:system
