little TODO list in there as well as the debugging code (only enabled if
BN_CTX_DEBUG is defined).
I'd appreciate as much review and testing as can be spared for this. I'll
commit some changes to other parts of the bignum code shortly to make
better use of this implementation (no more fixed size limitations). Note
also that under identical optimisations, I'm seeing a noticable speed
increase over openssl-0.9.7 - so any feedback to confirm/deny this on other
systems would also be most welcome.
return a "zero" bignum as BN_new() does - so reset 'top'. During
BN_CTX_end(), released bignums should be consistent so enforce this in
debug builds. Also, reduce the number of wasted BN_clear_free() calls from
BN_CTX_end() (typically by 75% or so).

except internally to the allocator BN_CTX_new(), as such this deprecates
the use of BN_CTX_init() in the API. Moreover, the structure definition of
BN_CTX is taken out of bn_lcl.h and moved into bn_ctx.c itself.
NDEBUG should probably only be "forced" in the top-level configuration, but
until it is I will avoid removing it from bn_ctx.c which might surprise
people with massive slow-downs in their keygens. So I've left it in
bn_ctx.c but tidied up the preprocessor logic a touch and made it more
tolerant of debugging efforts.
like Malloc, Realloc and especially Free conflict with already existing names
on some operating systems or other packages. That is reason enough to change
the names of the OpenSSL memory allocation macros to something that has a
better chance of being unique, like prepending them with OPENSSL_.
This change includes all the name changes needed throughout all C files.
