 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR

                OpenSSL comes with a database of information about how it

                should be built on different platforms. This information is

                held in ".conf" files in the Configurations directory. See the

                should be built on different platforms as well as build file

                templates for those platforms. The database is comprised of

                ".conf" files in the Configurations directory.  The build

                file templates reside there as well as ".tmpl" files. See the

                file Configurations/README for further information about the

                format of ".conf" files. As well as the standard ".conf" files

                it is possible to create your own ".conf" files and store them

                locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment

                variable can be set to the directory where these files are held.

                files.

                In addition to the standard ".conf" and ".tmpl" files, it is

                possible to create your own ".conf" and ".tmpl" files and store

                them locally, outside the OpenSSL source tree. This environment

                variable can be set to the directory where these files are held

                and will have Configure to consider them in addition to the

                standard ones.
