Update Windows installation instructions

Browse source 
The windows installation instructions were very out of date. Substantial
update to the text. Remove a lot of historical stuff that isn't relevant
any more, and merge the win64 and win32 instructions into one file.

Here are a few comments about building OpenSSL for Win32 environments,
such as Windows NT and Windows 9x. It should be noted though that
Windows 9x are not ordinarily tested. Its mention merely means that we
attempt to maintain certain programming discipline and pay attention
to backward compatibility issues, in other words it's kind of expected
to work on Windows 9x, but no regression tests are actually performed.
Here are a few comments about building OpenSSL for Windows environments.
On additional note newer OpenSSL versions are compiled and linked with
Winsock 2. This means that minimum OS requirement was elevated to NT 4
and Windows 98 [there is Winsock 2 update for Windows 95 though].

Firstly you should run Configure and generate the Makefiles. If you don't want
the assembly language files then add the "no-asm" option (without quotes) to
the Configure lines below.
For Win32:
> perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
> ms\do_nasm
Note: replace the last line above with the following if not using the assembly
language files:
> ms\do_ms
For Win64/x64:
> perl Configure VC-WIN64A --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
> ms\do_win64a
For Win64/IA64:
> perl Configure VC-WIN64I --prefix=c:\some\openssl\dir
> ms\do_win64i
Where the prefix argument specifies where OpenSSL will be installed to.
Next you need to build the Makefiles and optionally the assembly
language files:
- If you are using NASM then run:
> ms\do_nasm
- If you don't want to use the assembly language files at all then run:
> perl Configure VC-WIN32 no-asm --prefix=c:/some/openssl/dir

Installation
------------
If you used the Cygwin procedure above, you have already installed and
can skip this section. For all other procedures, there's currently no real
installation procedure for Win32. There are, however, some suggestions:
- do nothing. The include files are found in the inc32/ subdirectory,
all binaries are found in out32dll/ or out32/ depending if you built
dynamic or static libraries.
- do as is written in INSTALL.Win32 that comes with modssl:
$ md c:\openssl
$ md c:\openssl\bin
$ md c:\openssl\lib
$ md c:\openssl\include
$ md c:\openssl\include\openssl
$ copy /b inc32\openssl\* c:\openssl\include\openssl
$ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.lib c:\openssl\lib
$ copy /b out32dll\libeay32.lib c:\openssl\lib
$ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.dll c:\openssl\bin
$ copy /b out32dll\libeay32.dll c:\openssl\bin
$ copy /b out32dll\openssl.exe c:\openssl\bin
Of course, you can choose another device than c:. C: is used here
because that's usually the first (and often only) harddisk device.
Note: in the modssl INSTALL.Win32, p: is used rather than c:.
Troubleshooting
---------------
Since the Win32 build is only occasionally tested it may not always compile
cleanly. If you get an error about functions not having numbers assigned
when you run ms\do_ms then this means the Win32 ordinal files are not up to
date. You can do:
> perl util\mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
then ms\do_XXX should not give a warning any more. However the numbers that
get assigned by this technique may not match those that eventually get
assigned in the Git tree: so anything linked against this version of the
library may need to be recompiled.
If you get errors about unresolved symbols there are several possible
causes.
If this happens when the DLL is being linked and you have disabled some
ciphers then it is possible the DEF file generator hasn't removed all
the disabled symbols: the easiest solution is to edit the DEF files manually
to delete them. The DEF files are ms\libeay32.def ms\ssleay32.def.
Another cause is if you missed or ignored the errors about missing numbers
mentioned above.
If you get warnings in the code then the compilation will halt.
The default Makefile for Win32 halts whenever any warnings occur. Since VC++
has its own ideas about warnings which don't always match up to other
environments this can happen. The best fix is to edit the file with the
warning in and fix it. Alternatively you can turn off the halt on warnings by
editing the CFLAG line in the Makefile and deleting the /WX option.
You might get compilation errors. Again you will have to fix these or report
them.
One final comment about compiling applications linked to the OpenSSL library.
If you don't use the multithreaded DLL runtime library (/MD option) your
program will almost certainly crash because malloc gets confused -- the
OpenSSL DLLs are statically linked to one version, the application must
not use a different one. You might be able to work around such problems
by adding CRYPTO_malloc_init() to your program before any calls to the
OpenSSL libraries: This tells the OpenSSL libraries to use the same
malloc(), free() and realloc() as the application. However there are many
standard library functions used by OpenSSL that call malloc() internally
(e.g. fopen()), and OpenSSL cannot change these; so in general you cannot
rely on CRYPTO_malloc_init() solving your problem, and you should
consistently use the multithreaded library.
