anything that just links with libeay32.lib or libssl32.lib will get an
error saying the __imp__RegQueryValueEx is unresolved.

The right thing would really be to fix crypto/rand/rand_win.c to load
ADVAPI32.DLL dynamically, but that won't be done just before a
release.

record-oriented fashion.  That means that every write() will write a
separate record, which will be read separately by the programs trying
to read from it.  This can be very confusing.

The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer text
until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a line at a
time, so every record written will be an actual line, not chunks of
lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've seen it once) several
lines in one record.  Voila, BIO_f_linebuffer() is born.

Since we're so close to release time, I'm making this VMS-only for
now, just to make sure no code is needlessly broken by this.  After
the release, this BIO method will be enabled on all other platforms as
well.

Add docs for X509_get_ext_d2i() function.

Add some major changes to NEWS...

BN_mod_mul_montgomery, which calls bn_sqr_recursive
without much preparation.

bn_sqr_recursive requires the length of its argument to be
a power of 2, which is not always the case here.
There's no reason for not using BN_sqr -- if a simpler
approach to squaring made sense, then why not change
BN_sqr?  (Using BN_sqr should also speed up DH where g is chosen
such that it becomes small [e.g., 2] when converted
to Montgomery representation.)

Case closed :-)

better not to use it.

make disabled code slightly more correct (this does not solve
the problem though).
