On my fresh install of Win8.1:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FIPSAlgorithmPolicy
Enabled=0

Indicating that FIPS mode is disabled. As far as I understand FIPS it
disables certain ciphers / protocols. However, my new dovecot/OpenSSL
version provides more and stronger ciphers, so FIPS shouldn't be an
issue (well, in theory).
