Rich Salz a528d4f0a9 Remove SSLeay history, etc., from docs
If something was "present in all versions" of SSLeay, or if it was
added to a version of SSLeay (and therefore predates OpenSSL),
remove mention of it.  Documentation history now starts with OpenSSL.

Remove mention of all history before OpenSSL 0.9.8, inclusive.

Remove all AUTHOR sections.

=head1 NAME
BN_zero, BN_one, BN_value_one, BN_set_word, BN_get_word - BIGNUM assignment
operations
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h>
int BN_zero(BIGNUM *a);
int BN_one(BIGNUM *a);
const BIGNUM *BN_value_one(void);
int BN_set_word(BIGNUM *a, unsigned long w);
unsigned long BN_get_word(BIGNUM *a);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
BN_zero(), BN_one() and BN_set_word() set B<a> to the values 0, 1 and
B<w> respectively. BN_zero() and BN_one() are macros.
BN_value_one() returns a B<BIGNUM> constant of value 1. This constant
is useful for use in comparisons and assignment.
BN_get_word() returns B<a>, if it can be represented as an unsigned
long.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
BN_get_word() returns the value B<a>, and 0xffffffffL if B<a> cannot
be represented as an unsigned long.
BN_zero(), BN_one() and BN_set_word() return 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
BN_value_one() returns the constant.
=head1 BUGS
Someone might change the constant.
If a B<BIGNUM> is equal to 0xffffffffL it can be represented as an
unsigned long but this value is also returned on error.
