This means that all Makefiles will have $(TOP) as one of the include
directories.

This compiles and runs on Linux, and external applications have no
problems with it.  The definite test will be to build this on VMS.

sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
opensslconf.h.

I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.

supporting threads, which means that th assertion is supperbly

it wants to stir the pool using ssleay_rand_add.  This fix provides the
possibility to call ssleay_rand_add inside a locked state by simply telling
it not to do any locking through a static variable.  This isn't the most
elegant way one could do this, but it does retain thread safety during the
stirring process.

They have nothing to do with the particular PRNG (md_rand.c).

it's a good thing if ssleay_rand_status() would do the corresponding

same as RAND_seed() but takes an estimate of the entropy as an additional
argument.

don't try to detect fork()s by looking at getpid().
The reason is that threads sharing the same memory can have different
PIDs; it's inefficient to run RAND_seed each time a different thread
calls RAND_bytes.

between SSLeay 0.8.1b and 0.9.0b with no apparent reason).
If we *want* an error when DEVRANDOM is not defined (it always is with
the current e_os.h) we should use #error.

This will soon be complemented with MacOS specific source code files and
INSTALL.MacOS.

I (Andy) have decided to get rid of a number of #include <sys/types.h>.
I've verified it's ok (both by examining /usr/include/*.h and compiling)
on a number of Unix platforms. Unfortunately I don't have Windows box
to verify this on. I really appreciate if somebody could try to compile
it and contact me a.s.a.p. in case a problem occurs.
