ac120e20e3 Various parts of the RSA documentation were inaccurate and out of date and
this fixes those that I'm currently aware of. In particular, the ENGINE
interference in the RSA API has hopefully been clarified. This still needs
to be done for other areas of the API ...

3f90e45079 A single monolithic man page for the ENGINE stuff. This is a rough
first-cut but provides better documentation than having nothing on the
ENGINE API.

and he can always take his turn to overwrite my words if he wants :-)

c2e4f17c1a Due to an increasing number of clashes between modern OpenSSL and
libdes (which is still used out there) or other des implementations,
the OpenSSL DES functions are renamed to begin with DES_ instead of
des_.  Compatibility routines are provided and declared by including
openssl/des_old.h.  Those declarations are the same as were in des.h
when the OpenSSL project started, which is exactly how libdes looked
at that time, and hopefully still looks today.

The compatibility functions will be removed in some future release, at
the latest in version 1.0.

35ed8cb8b6 Integrate my implementation of a countermeasure against
Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.  With this implementation, the expected
number of iterations never exceeds 2.

New semantics for BN_rand_range():
BN_rand_range(r, min, range) now generates r such that
     min <= r < min+range.
(Previously, BN_rand_range(r, min, max) generated r such that
     min <= r < max.
It is more convenient to have the range; also the previous
prototype was misleading because max was larger than
the actual maximum.)

ab5db00717 Update the LHASH man page.
* Correct some prototypes and macros with respect to "const"ness.

* Add the extra macros and examples due to the lh_doall[_arg] modifications
  made recently. The existing example is also reworked for consistency.

* Rewrite, tweak, and supplement bits of the existing comments that seemed
  (IMHO) to be a little convoluted and misleading.

* Add a NOTE section that explains the use of macros and avoiding function
  casts (ie. generate a wrapper as with the macros, or prototype any
  callback functions exactly to not require casting). Also, explain the
  "const" approach taken in LHASH for the purposes of API comprehensibility
  and also application code auditing.
