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...

build workaround (DJGPP swallows it too). One probably should do same
as with ELF calling it COFF, but I'm very short in COFF platforms, so
I just go for easy ad-hoc solution. I'll take care of merge to 0.9.7
later.

Problem is that SHA uses same label set across functions, therefore I

that VC++ will tolerate so it could be used to provide assembly language support
to Win32 without the need for MASM.

This is preliminary stuff: it doesn't even work yet.
