This is where it fools you: you need to type the password twice. It
doesn't tell you it's waiting, but that's really what's happening. It
has to do with Apache spawning a separate child-process to serve
requests. A while ago someone posted a patch for this, and submitted a
bugreport to the Apache (not modssl) maintainers, if I'm not mistaking.
But you most likely work with a version without the patch. You might
find it back in one of the archives of this list. Look for Win32 in the
subject.
Of type the password twice, and your problems will go away (or provide a
password program to do it for you, or use a private key that has the
password removed).

I can't help you with your build problem. Modssl has always built out of
the box on MSVC for me.
