it's really a misfeature according to the jargon file (4.0.0)
definition:

":misfeature: /mis-fee'chr/ or /mis'fee`chr/ /n./  A feature
   that eventually causes lossage, possibly because it is not adequate
   for a new situation that has evolved.  Since it results from a
   deliberate and properly implemented feature, a misfeature is not a
   bug."

directory, making a separate directory tree with lots of symbolic links
seems to be the solution.  Unfortunately, Configure doesn't take appropriate
steps to support this solution (as in removing a file that's going to be
rewritten).  This change corrects that situation.  Now I just have to
find all other places where there's lack of support for this.

mechanism to the ENGINE framework.  This means there there are going
to be new functionality for the DSO part, and ultimately some way of
merging two file specifications together.

This commit places the merging code into the repository.  It's
currently not used anywhere, and hasn't been tested at all.  It may be
full of errors, including syntactical ones.  Those will be fixed as
promptly as possible.

(the same keys can be used for ECC schemes other than ECDSA)
and add some new options.

Similarly, use string "EC PARAMETERS" instead of "ECDSA PARAMETERS"
in 'PEM' format.

Fix ec_asn1.c (take into account the desired conversion form).

des_old.h redefines crypt:
#define crypt(b,s)\
        DES_crypt((b),(s))

This scheme leads to failure, if header files with the OS's true definition
of crypt() are processed _after_ des_old.h was processed. This is e.g. the
case on HP-UX with unistd.h.
As evp.h now again includes des.h (which includes des_old.h), this problem
only came up after this modification.
Solution: move header files (indirectly) including e_os.h before the header
files (indirectly) including evp.h.
