anything that just links with libeay32.lib or libssl32.lib will get an
error saying the __imp__RegQueryValueEx is unresolved.

The right thing would really be to fix crypto/rand/rand_win.c to load
ADVAPI32.DLL dynamically, but that won't be done just before a
release.

record-oriented fashion.  That means that every write() will write a
separate record, which will be read separately by the programs trying
to read from it.  This can be very confusing.

The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer text
until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a line at a
time, so every record written will be an actual line, not chunks of
lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've seen it once) several
lines in one record.  Voila, BIO_f_linebuffer() is born.

Since we're so close to release time, I'm making this VMS-only for
now, just to make sure no code is needlessly broken by this.  After
the release, this BIO method will be enabled on all other platforms as
well.

Perhaps we should make rewrites the default thing to do?

the order of files in the directory.

This should now mean that all systems will
agree on the order of safestack.h and will
not change it needlessly and avoid massive
needless commits to safestack.h in future.

It wont however avoid this one :-(

Fixes for Win32 build.

This is mostly a work around for the old VC++ problem
that it treats func() as func(void).

Various prototypes had been added to 'compare' function
pointers that triggered this. This could be fixed by removing
the prototype, adding function pointer casts to every call or
changing the passed function to use the expected arguments.
I mostly did the latter.

The mkdef.pl script was modified to remove the typesafe
functions which no longer exist.

Oh and some functions called OPENSSL_freeLibrary() were
changed back to FreeLibrary(), wonder how that happened :-)

Handle ASN1_SET_OF and PKCS12_STACK_OF using function

Note that it's implemented in such a way that the locking itself is
done through the same CRYPTO_lock function as the static locks.

WARNING: This is currently experimental and untested code (it will get
tested soon, though :-)).

type-specific stack function.  Second, even when we don't build any of
those functions, DECLARE_STACK_OF lines should not find themselves
into $def.

sk_whatever_insert and sk_whatever_set immediately reveals the subtle
difference in parameter order.

Change mkstack.pl so that safestack.h is not rewritten when
nothing has changed.

After some messing around this seems to work but needs
a few more tests. Working out the syntax for sk_set_cmp_func()
(cast it to a function that itself returns a function pointer)
was painful :-(

Needs some testing to see what other compilers think of this
syntax.

Also needs similar stuff for ASN1_SET_OF etc etc.

"symbols" including functions (of all prototypes( and variables. Whilst
casting any function type to another violates ANSI C (I believe), it is
a necessary evil in shared-library APIs. However, it is quite
conceivable that functions in general and data symbols could very well
be represented differently to each other on some systems, as Bodo said;

I agree. So this change splits the "dso_bind" handler in DSO_METHOD
into "dso_bind_var" and "dso_bind_func". Similarly the exported
function DSO_bind() has been split in two. I've also put together
changes for the various DSO_METHOD implementations, but so far only
DSO_dlfcn() has been tested. BTW: The prototype for dso_bind had been
a bit strange so I've taken the opportunity to change its shape (in
both variations).

Also, the README has been updated - particularly with a note about
using customised native name-translation for shared libraries (and that
you can't do it yet).

when symlink() fails.

Also, "make update" has added some missing functions to libeay.num,
updated the TABLE for the alpha changes, and updated thousands of
dependancies that have changed from recent commits.

structures and functions for each stack type. The previous behaviour
can be enabled by configuring with the "-DDEBUG_SAFESTACK" option.
This will also cause "make update" (mkdef.pl in particular) to
update the libeay.num and ssleay.num symbol tables with the number of
extra functions DEBUG_SAFESTACK creates.

The way this change works is to accompany each DECLARE_STACK_OF()
macro with a set of "#define"d versions of the sk_##type##_***
functions that ensures all the existing "type-safe" stack calls are
precompiled into the underlying stack calls. The presence or abscence
of the DEBUG_SAFESTACK symbol controls whether this block of
"#define"s or the DECLARE_STACK_OF() macro is taking effect. The
block of "#define"s is in turn generated and maintained by a perl
script (util/mkstack.pl) that encompasses the block with delimiting
C comments. This works in a similar way to the auto-generated error
codes and, like the other such maintenance utilities, is invoked
by the "make update" target.

A long (but mundane) commit will follow this with the results of
"make update" - this will include all the "#define" blocks for
each DECLARE_STACK_OF() statement, along with stripped down
libeay.num and ssleay.num files.

Also, corrects the linux-elf-arm config string, it was previously setting
$des_obj = dlfcn :-)

There's no trace of it being implemented and it doesn't seem to have been
intended given that it is prototyped with a BIO yet there was a BIO-
specific version added in at the same time.
