376729e130 RC4 tune-up for Intel P4 core, both 32- and 64-bit ones. As it's
apparently impossible to compose blended code with would perform
satisfactory on all x86 and x86_64 cores, an extra RC4_CHAR
code-path is introduced and P4 core is detected at run-time. This
way we keep original performance on non-P4 implementations and
turbo-charge P4 performance by factor of 2.8x (on 32-bit core).

14e21f863a Add framework for yet another assembler module dubbed "cpuid." Idea
is to have a placeholder to small routines, which can be written only
in assembler. In IA-32 case this includes processor capability
identification and access to Time-Stamp Counter. As discussed earlier
OPENSSL_ia32cap is introduced to control recently added SSE2 code
pathes (see docs/crypto/OPENSSL_ia32cap.pod). For the moment the
code is operational on ELF platforms only. I haven't checked it yet,
but I have all reasons to believe that Windows build should fail to
link too. I'll be looking into it shortly...

a14e2d9dfe New functions
ERR_peek_last_error
    ERR_peek_last_error_line
    ERR_peek_last_error_line_data
(supersedes ERR_peek_top_error).

Rename OPENSSL_NO_OLD_DES_SUPPORT into OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
because OPENSSL_NO_... indicates disabled algorithms (according to
mkdef.pl).

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.
