26d7cb400e Improves the proxy certificates howto doc.
The current documentation contains a bunch of spelling and grammar mistakes. I also
found it hard to understand some paragraphs, so here is my attempt to improve its
readability.

a security threat on unexpecting applications.  Document and test.

16b1b03543 Implement self-signing in 'openssl ca'. This makes it easier to have
the CA certificate part of the CA database, and combined with
'unique_subject=no', it should make operations like CA certificate
roll-over easier.

cf1b7d9664 Make all configuration macros available for application by making
sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
opensslconf.h.

I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.
