if we explicitly intruct the linker to set entry point, then we become
obliged to initialize run-time library. Instead we can pick name run-time
will call and such name is DllMain. Note that this applies to both
"native" Win32 environment and Cygwin:-)

be operational, while SSE2 code pathes get engaged on ELF platforms
only.

is to have a placeholder to small routines, which can be written only
in assembler. In IA-32 case this includes processor capability
identification and access to Time-Stamp Counter. As discussed earlier
OPENSSL_ia32cap is introduced to control recently added SSE2 code
pathes (see docs/crypto/OPENSSL_ia32cap.pod). For the moment the
code is operational on ELF platforms only. I haven't checked it yet,
but I have all reasons to believe that Windows build should fail to
link too. I'll be looking into it shortly...

stop complaining about loss of precision, but explicit cast.

because "wrong" casts will either be optimized away or never performed.

Win64 comes in two flavors, IA-64/Itanium and AMD64/Opteron. The
suggestion is to refer to former as WIN64I and latter - WIN64A

Apparently, the length *including* the NUL byte should be used.

Make a nicer comment, as we don't really know for sure that it's
really needed, and just want to play on the safe side.

SIXTY_FOUR_BIT_LONG) were failing to pass 'cd test; make test_bn'.

Some code beautification.

Change the macro CP_THREAD_ACP to CP_ACP, because the latter is more
widely defined.

Add a conditional macro definition in case FindFirstFile and
FindNextFile aren't properly defined (might happen on WinCE).

Windows changes that detects if multibyte characters are available and
deals with them properly.

free().
