The bn_set_max() macro is only "used" by the bn_set_[low|high]() macros
which, in turn, are used nowhere at all. This is a good thing because bn_set_max() would currently generate code that wouldn't compile (BIGNUM has no 'max' element). The only apparent use for bn_set_[low|high] would be for implementing windowing algorithms, and all of openssl's seem to use bn_***_words() helpers instead (including the BN_div() that Nils fixed recently, which had been using independently-coded versions of what these unused macros are intended for). I'm therefore consigning these macros to cvs oblivion in the name of readability.
