 Note on support for multiple builds

 -----------------------------------



 OpenSSL is usually built in it's source tree.  Unfortunately, this doesn't

 support building for multiple platforms from the same source tree very well.

 It is however possible to build in a separate tree through the use of lots

 of symbolic links, which should be prepared like this:



	mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"

	cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"

	(cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do

		mkdir -p `dirname $F`

		ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F

	done



 OPENSSL_SOURCE is an environment variable that contains the absolute (this

 is important!) path to the OpenSSL source tree.



 Also, operations like 'make update' should still be made in the source tree.
