types of questions.  Hopefully, that'll make them easier to spot, and
specially, easier to refer to.

Windows.  Really, this should probably be done on Unix as well, but
that will be a later story...

similarly modified now on DH and DSA.

I'm still investigating what caused the segementation fault
(maybe "make clean; make" will cure it ...).
But BN_bin2bn should always reset ret->neg.

This caused a segmentation fault in calls to malloc, so I cleaned up
bn_lib.c a little so that it is easier to see what is going on.
The bug turned out to be an off-by-one error in BN_bin2bn.

Modify "CHANGES" entry for BN_mod_inverse (it's not just avoiding BN_div
that increases performance, avoiding BN_mul also helps)

Get the BN_mod_exp_mont bugfix (for handling negative inputs) correct
this time.

Fix BN_gcd.
Analyze BN_mod_inverse.
Add BN_kronecker.
"make update".

making a note in the CHANGES file.

"make update"

BN_mul() correctly constified, avoids two realloc()'s that aren't
really necessary and saves memory to boot.  This required a small
change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition of variants of
bn_cmp_words(), bn_add_words() and bn_sub_words() that can take arrays
with differing sizes.

The test results show a performance that very closely matches the
original code from before my constification.  This may seem like a
very small win from a performance point of view, but if one remembers
that the variants of bn_cmp_words(), bn_add_words() and bn_sub_words()
are not at all optimized for the moment (and there's no corresponding
assembler code), and that their use may be just as non-optimal, I'm
pretty confident there are possibilities...

This code needs reviewing!

password verification where it makes sense.

away now...

environment variable, SHLIB_PATH.  This change makes that possible.

few small constifying changes, and why not throw in a couple of extras
while I'm at it?

two functions that did expansion on in parameters (BN_mul() and
BN_sqr()).  The problem was solved by making bn_dup_expand() which is
a mix of bn_expand2() and BN_dup().

full version number and not just 0.  This should mark the shared
libraries as not backward compatible.  Of course, this should be
changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.

load the "external" built-in engines (those that require DSO).  This
makes linking with libdl or other dso libraries non-mandatory.

Change 'openssl engine' accordingly.

Change the engine header files so some declarations (that differed at
that!) aren't duplicated, and make sure engine_int.h includes
engine.h.  That way, there should be no way of missing the needed
info.

implementation is contained in the application, and the capability
string building part should really be part of the engine library.
This is therefore an experimental hack, and will be changed in the
near future.
