07930a75a1 Slight cleanup of the collection of READMEs, INSTALLs and NOTES
README is a fairly independent document, and so is INSTALL.  NOTES are
merely addendums to INSTALL.  Therefore , INSTALL.DJGPP and
README.PERL get renamed to NOTES.DJGPP and NOTES.PERL.

e817315702 VMS: support VERBOSE and V in descrip.mms
With Unixly Makefiles as well as with nmake, make variables are
transferred to the shell running the commands as envinronment
variables.  This principle doesn't apply with MMS, so we must
explicitely define VERBOSE as commands when it's needed.

42a9f38613 Remove the never-functional no-sct
It was added as part of 2df84dd329
but has never actually been used for anything; presumably it was
a typo for one of SCTP or CT.

This removes the last '??' entry from INSTALL.

ce942199db Make "shared" builds the default
In most cases we expect that people will be using shared libraries not
static ones, therefore we make that the default.

8c16829ebd Add install targets for Windows
On Windows, we set INSTALLTOP to default as follows:

  VC-WIN32:

    PREFIX:     %ProgramFiles(x86)%\OpenSSL
    OPENSSLDIR: %CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\SSL

  VC-WIN64*:

    PREFIX:     %ProgramW6432%\OpenSSL
    OPENSSLDIR: %CommonProgramW6432%\SSL

Should those environment variables be missing, the following is used
as fallback:

    PREFIX:     %ProgramFiles%\OpenSSL
    OPENSSLDIR: %CommonProgramFiles%\SSL

2acd8ec7a9 Change the INSTALL documentation for unified builds
Because of the unified scheme, building on different platforms is very
similar.  We currently have Unix and OpenVMS on the unified scheme,
which means that a separate INSTALL.VMS is no longer needed.

3c65577f1a Rename INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR, remove option --install_prefix
INSTALL_PREFIX is a confusing name, as there's also --prefix.
Instead, tag along with the rest of the open source world and adopt
the Makefile variable DESTDIR to designate the desired staging
directory.

The Configure option --install_prefix is removed, the only way to
designate a staging directory is with the Makefile variable (this is
also implemented for VMS' descrip.mms et al).
