The original, uncommited fix simply changed compiler flag /MT to /MD. This
would link the C runtime dynamically instead of statically. This is bad,
because some users would have to install the c runtime before starting the
editor.
You can find alot of info about this error, which can happen after
upgrading to VS 2015, and there are workarounds. But I realized, that the
only place, where iob_func is used, is in e_os.h of the openssl library.
The latest version already contains a workaround. I simply updated the
part in e_os.h.
