Is there a way to get the Windows password for an EC2 Windows Server in Ansible 1.9.4 ?  
It appears that ec2\_win\_password only works in Ansible 2.x

You can include a copy of the module from 2.x in a library directory  
alongside your playbook or in a role (e.g.  
[https://github.com/cchurch/ansible-role-win-ec2/tree/master/library](https://github.com/cchurch/ansible-role-win-ec2/tree/master/library) -- I  
renamed the module so it's clear which one I'm using when running with  
either 1.9.x or 2.x).
