Subject: Fix for new UI functions under Win32.
X-Git-Tag: OpenSSL_0_9_6c~182^2~152

Fix for new UI functions under Win32.

For some unknown reason fopen("con", "w") is the
only way to make this work. Using "r+" and "w+"
causes the fopen call to fail and the fallback
(using stdin) doesn't work because writing to stdin
fails.
