05ccd698b9 RAND_load_file(..., -1) now means "read the complete file"; 
this is what we now use to read $RANDFILE / $HOME/.rnd.
(Previously, after 'cat'ting lots of stuff into .rnd
only the first MB would be looked at.)

Bugfix for apps/enc.c: Continue if RAND_pseudo_bytes returns 0
(only -1 is an error).

fd52057729 Add functions to allow extensions to be added to certificate requests. 
Modify obj_dat.pl to take its files from the command line. Usage is now
perl obj_dat.pl objects.h obj_dat.h
this should avoid redirection shell escape problems under Win32.

extension.

66ab08b1cf Implement STACK_OF(ANS1_OBJECT) for extended key usage extension, change the 
documentation to reflect the STACK_OF(CONF_VALUE) change to the CONF lib and
use ANSI typedefs for X509V3_EXT_I2D and X509V3_EXT_FREE.

doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
relationship to the OpenSSL project.

PS: This beast caused me three hours to create, because
    of the size I had to hand-paint the 7pt fonts in Photoshop.

155d7a0e1d First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup: 
1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
   where we collect the old documents and readme texts.

2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no longer need
   them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary files which
   were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where I've verified
   that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff -rSSLeay_0_8_1b"
   or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for the crypto/md/
   stuff).

We've still a horrible mess under crypto/bn/asm/.  There for a lot of files
I'm sure whether we need them or not. So, when someone knows it better, feel
free to cleanup there.

fcc6c7199b Puhhh... now we've documented the prototypes of all 214 API "functions". This 
is a pain to do, because of the various macro definitions which I had to
expand manually to get their prototype :-(

What's now needed is a volunteer who wants to write down one or two sentences
per API function to document it a little bit...

cb496082f8 Import the first cut for manual pages. 
They are written in Perl's POD format for two reasons: First Perl is already
needed for SSLeay and second, POD is easy to write and maintain _AND_ created
nice looking NRoff manpages.

The idea is to have three manual pages:

  openssl(1) ... The manpage for the `openssl' program (formerly ssleay)
  crypto(3) .... The manpage for crypto.h/libcrypto.a
  ssl(3) ....... The manpage for ssl.h/libssl.a

The openssl(1) should be very similar to cvs(1), i.e.  it should document all
commands in a compact way.  And I've even created the first cut for an
overview of all 243 functions of the SSL API for ssl.pod. More to come...
