performing AES encryption in hardware, as well as one accessing
hardware RNG. As you surely imagine this engine access this
extended instruction set. Well, only AES for the moment, support
for RNG is to be added later on...

COFF and a.out targets [similar to ELF targets]. You might notice some
rudementary support for shared mingw builds under cygwin. It works (it
produces cryptoeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll with everything exported by
name), but it's primarily for testing/debugging purposes, at least for
now...
if we explicitly intruct the linker to set entry point, then we become
obliged to initialize run-time library. Instead we can pick name run-time
will call and such name is DllMain. Note that this applies to both
"native" Win32 environment and Cygwin:-)
around them.
NOTE: because two new locks are added, this adds potential binary
incompatibility with earlier versions in the 0.9.7 series. However,
those locks will only ever be touched when FIPS_mode_set() is called
and after, thanks to a variable that's only changed from 0 to 1 once
(when FIPS_mode_set() is called). So basically, as long as FIPS mode
hasn't been engaged explicitely by the calling application, the new
locks are treated as if they didn't exist at all, thus not becoming a
problem. Applications that are built or rebuilt to use FIPS
functionality will need to be recompiled in any case, thus not being a
problem either.
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...
Make a nicer comment, as we don't really know for sure that it's
really needed, and just want to play on the safe side.
