565d1065c3 Document the X509V3 code and change some of the extension function pointers
to use 'void *' rather than 'char *' for an "arbitrary extension".

257e206da6 Include some notes on basic extension usage and change openssl.cnf to usually
do sensible things with extensions.

703126f027 Various clarifications to extension docs: change the name of literal
extensions from RAW to DER to avoid confusion with raw extensions.

Update NEWS file.

3f45ed82dc Rename "openssl x509" option "-config" to "-extfile", because it
doesn't have a default value like the "-config" options of other
openssl subprograms.

94c95d04c6 Fix a typo in the X.509v3 docs: cRLSign instead of cRLCertSign is correct
according to the sources.... found by Steffen Dettmer <steffen@tfh-berlin.de>.

f5904406d0 Merge ext-conf.txt and buffer.txt into a global openssl.txt because we
shouldn't again start with thousend little text files or we quickly come back
to the old SSLeay days ;-)

1756d405cc Added support for adding extensions to CRLs, also fix a memory leak and
make 'req' check the config file syntax before it adds extensions. Added
info in the documentation as well.

9985bed331 Deleted my str_dup() function from X509V3: the same functionality is provided
by BUF_MEM_strdup(). Added text documentation to the BUF_MEM stuff.

789285aa96 Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
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.

ea14a91f64 Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature area
because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be recognized by the
users. Thanks to Steve for the original hint.

deff75b634 Add preliminary user level config documentation for extension stuff. Programming
info will come later...

Feel free to reformat and tidy this up...

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...
