like des_read_password and friends (backward compatibility functions
using this new API are provided).  The purpose is to remove prompting
functions from the DES code section as well as provide for prompting
through dialog boxes in a window system and the like.

performance to gain.

assembler code works with.

Of course, the assembler code could differ between platforms.  That
might happen in the future.

functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
global variables in shared libraries.  To enable this functionality,
one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
"OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
is normally done by Configure or something similar).

To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
in the source file (foo.c) like this:

	OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
	OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);

To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:

	OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
	#define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
	OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
	#define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)

The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
header file everywere where the defined globals are used.

The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different.

The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).

and make all files the depend on it include it without prefixing it
with openssl/.

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

away now...

At the same time, add VMS support for Rijndael.

centralise those hacks in crypto/symhacks.h and use it everywhere it's
needed.

what is known about VAX and Alpha running VMS, and from the
opensslconf.h.in (in VMS often named OPENSSLCONF.H_IN) file.

Some crypto applications are now being built on Unix, so they should on VMS as well.  Not by default, however.
