Reshape the README file out of the existing README stuff

into a single file. Need more cleanup for final release IMHO.

PATENTS
-------
Various companies hold various patents for various algorithms in various
locations around the world. YOU are responsible for ensuring that your use of
any algorithms is legel by checking if there are any patents in your country.
The file contains some of the patents that we know about or are rumoured to
exist. This is not a definitive list.
RSA Data Security holds software patents on the RSA and RC5 algorithms. If
their ciphers are used used inside the USA (and Japan?), you must contact RSA
Data Security for licencing conditions. Their web page is
http://www.rsa.com/.
RC4 is a trademark of RSA Data Security, so use of this label should perhaps
only be used with RSA Data Security's permission.
The IDEA algorithm is patented by Ascom in Austria, France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USA. They should
be contacted if that algorithm is to be used, their web page is

INSTALLATION

SUPPORT
-------
If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
first:
- Remove ASM versions of libraries
- Remove compiler optimisation flags
- Add compiler debug flags (if using gcc then remove -fomit-frame-pointer
before you try to debug things)
If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information in
any bug report:
OpenSSL Details
- Version, most of these details can be got from the
'openssl version -a' command.
Operating System Details
- OS Name
- OS Version
- Hardware platform
Compiler Details
- Name
- Version
Application Details
- Name
- Version
Problem Description
- include steps that will reproduce the problem (if known)
Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)

If you have any problems with SSLeay then please take the following
steps:
Remove the ASM version of the BN routines (edit Configure)
Remove the compiler optimisation flags
Add in the compiler debug flags (-g)
