To install this package, read the INSTALL file.
For the Microsoft world, read INSTALL.W32 file.

For people in the USA, it is possible to compile SSLeay to use RSA Inc.'s
public key library, RSAref.  From my understanding, it is claimed by RSA Inc.
to be illegal to use my public key routines inside the USA.  Read
doc/rsaref.doc on how to build with RSAref.

Read the documentation in the doc directory.  It is quite rough, but it lists
the functions, you will probably have to look at the code to work out how to
