What errors did tinc log when the Windows node failed to connect?

I did some tests myself and found a problem that might or might not be what you
experienced, and that is that there have been some changes in recent versions
of the OpenSSL library that cause public ECDSA keys to be written slightly
different than with older versions. This is a big problem of course, so I will
likely switch to Ed25519 keys, and have an embedded copy of the reference
implementation of the Ed25519 and Curve25519 code from Dan J. Bernstein
(similar to what OpenSSH does).
