 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.1.0  [xx XXX xxxx]

  *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
     Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
     produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
     crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
     Text::Template.

     Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
     Makefile.  Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
     configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
     table %config), the target data that comes from the target
     configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
     %target).
     [Richard Levitte]

  *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
     --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
     straightforward and less interdependent.
