376729e130 RC4 tune-up for Intel P4 core, both 32- and 64-bit ones. As it's
apparently impossible to compose blended code with would perform
satisfactory on all x86 and x86_64 cores, an extra RC4_CHAR
code-path is introduced and P4 core is detected at run-time. This
way we keep original performance on non-P4 implementations and
turbo-charge P4 performance by factor of 2.8x (on 32-bit core).

2b247cf81f OPENSSL_ia32cap final touches. Note that OPENSSL_ia32cap is no longer a
symbol, but a macro expanded as (*(OPENSSL_ia32cap_loc())). The latter
is the only one to be exported to application.

14e21f863a Add framework for yet another assembler module dubbed "cpuid." Idea
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...

6a6592962c Attempt to bring the 'engine' documentation up to date w.r.t missing
prototypes, etc. Also, some fairly significant edits were made to the text
(who wrote this crap anyway? oh wait ...), removing stuff which is
overkill, rewriting stuff that was opaque, correcting things that were just
downright false, etc.
