because otherwise BN_rand will fail unless DEVRANDOM works,
  which causes the programs to dump core because they
  don't check the return value of BN_rand (and if they
  did, we still couldn't test anything).

- add comment to some files that appear not to be used at all.

returns int (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). New function RAND_add() is the
same as RAND_seed() but takes an estimate of the entropy as an additional
argument.

Primes p where (p-1)/2 is prime too are called "safe", not "strong".

problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working since
SSLeay releases.  For now the offending routine has been replaced with
non-optimised assembler.  Even so, this now gives around 95% performance
improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.

the remainder left in %edx. Here is the resulting performance improvement
matrix (improvement as a result of this *and* previous tune-up committed
two days ago). The results were obtained by profiling the "div" part of
the crypto/bn/bnspeed.c.

CPU	BN_div	bn_div_words	overall	comment
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PII	+16%	accumulated by	+2-3%	PII multiplies damn fast! Taking
		inlining		multiplication out of the loop
					didn't make too much difference.
					Eliminating of the multiplication
					involved in remainder calculation
					is the major factor.

Pentium	+45%	accumulated by	+7-9%	mull isn't that fast and replacing
		inlining		multiplications with additions in
					the loop has more visible effect:-)

MIPS	+75%	+12%		+20-25%	In addition to the taking mults
R10000					out of the loop (giving 12% in the
					asm/mips3.s) three mults were
					eliminated in BN_div.

Alpha	+30%	+50%		+10-15%	Same as above. But remember that
EV4					bn_div_words is a C implementation.
					It takes 4 Alpha mults in C to do
					the same thing as 1 MIPS mult in
					assembler does. So the effect (50%)
					is more impressive. But not the
					overall one... Well, if Alpha
					bn_mul_add would be implemented
					in assembler overall improvement
					would be closer to MIPS...

loop body and replace 'em with addition/subtraction.

./config sences whole range of SPARC instruction sets. Do note that
it favors Sun C now if both gcc and cc 4.2 or later are present!

- support for GNU assembler (read SPARC Linux);
