OpenSSL does not contain a "RNG". It uses a cryptographic PRNG, which
you as the application programmer have to initialize by calling
RAND_seed() with appropriate input.

In the case of Windows, one method for creating such input is to ask
the user to move the mouse and use the the coordinates of the
WM_MOUSEMOVE messages you get and the respective system time.
