Ah. I did change the way protocols are probed so that
they're tried in the order in which they are specified.

There is a new --http probe as well, which should make the
first configuration work.

It's not specific to Windows -- What I do need to do is
update the README to take the new way of handling parameters
into account, and to clearly document how protocols are
tried. (There are 2 special cases: timeout and default; and
things are tried in order. If no timeout and no default is
specified, SSLH picks something but I can't remember if it's
the first or the last or what. That needs to be made clear
in the documentation).

Like said above, it's really a version that changes the way
parameters are handled rather than a build difference (well,
I hope).

Thank you for the extensive feedback, sorry I haven't been
more responsive with your problem (day job taking over my
life...)
