plain not working :-(
Also fix some memory leaks in the new X509_NAME code.
Fix so new app_rand code doesn't crash 'x509' and move #include so it compiles
under Win32.
problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working since
SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced with
non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95% performance
improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
Add a bunch of functions to simplify the creation of X509_NAME structures.
Change the X509_NAME_entry_add stuff in req/ca so it no longer uses
X509_NAME_entry_count(): passing -1 has the same effect.
don't try to detect fork()s by looking at getpid().
The reason is that threads sharing the same memory can have different
PIDs; it's inefficient to run RAND_seed each time a different thread
calls RAND_bytes.
between SSLeay 0.8.1b and 0.9.0b with no apparent reason).
If we *want* an error when DEVRANDOM is not defined (it always is with
the current e_os.h) we should use #error.
new DSA public key functions that were missing.
Also beginning of a cache for X509_EXTENSION structures: this will allow them
to be accessed more quickly for things like certificate chain verification...
This will soon be complemented with MacOS specific source code files and
INSTALL.MacOS.
I (Andy) have decided to get rid of a number of #include <sys/types.h>.
I've verified it's ok (both by examining /usr/include/*.h and compiling)
on a number of Unix platforms. Unfortunately I don't have Windows box
to verify this on. I really appreciate if somebody could try to compile
it and contact me a.s.a.p. in case a problem occurs.

OpenSSL is compiled with NO_RSA, no RSA operations can be used: including
key generation storage and display of RSA keys. Since these operations are
not covered by the RSA patent (my understanding is it only covers encrypt,
decrypt, sign and verify) they can be included: this is an often requested
feature, attempts to use the patented operations return an error code.
This is enabled by setting RSA_NULL. This means that if a particular application
has its own legal US RSA implementation then it can use that instead by setting
it as the default RSA method.
Still experimental and needs some fiddling of the other libraries so they have
some options that don't attempt to use RSA if it isn't allowed.
