structures and functions for each stack type. The previous behaviour
can be enabled by configuring with the "-DDEBUG_SAFESTACK" option.
This will also cause "make update" (mkdef.pl in particular) to
update the libeay.num and ssleay.num symbol tables with the number of
extra functions DEBUG_SAFESTACK creates.

The way this change works is to accompany each DECLARE_STACK_OF()
macro with a set of "#define"d versions of the sk_##type##_***
functions that ensures all the existing "type-safe" stack calls are
precompiled into the underlying stack calls. The presence or abscence
of the DEBUG_SAFESTACK symbol controls whether this block of
"#define"s or the DECLARE_STACK_OF() macro is taking effect. The
block of "#define"s is in turn generated and maintained by a perl
script (util/mkstack.pl) that encompasses the block with delimiting
C comments. This works in a similar way to the auto-generated error
codes and, like the other such maintenance ut...

yet tighter, and also put some heat on the rest of the library by
insisting (correctly) that compare callbacks used in stacks are prototyped
with "const" parameters. This has led to a depth-first explosion of
compiler warnings in the code where 1 constification has led to 3 or 4
more. Fortunately these have all been resolved to completion and the code
seems cleaner as a result - in particular many of the _cmp() functions
should have been prototyped with "const"s, and now are. There was one
little problem however;

X509_cmp() should by rights compare "const X509 *" pointers, and it is now
declared as such. However, it's internal workings can involve
recalculating hash values and extensions if they have not already been
setup. Someone with a more intricate understanding of the flow control of
X509 might be able to tighten this up, but for now - this seemed the
obvious place to stop the "depth-first" constification of the code by
using an evil cast (they have migrated all the way here from safestack.h).

Fortunately, this is the only place in the code where this was required
to complete these type-safety changes, and it's reasonably clear and
commented, and seemed the least unacceptable of the options. Trying to
take the constification further ends up exploding out considerably, and
indeed leads directly into generalised ASN functions which are not likely
to cooperate well with this.

More EVP cipher revision.

Change EVP_SealInit() and EVP_OpenInit() to
handle cipher parameters.

Make it possible to set RC2 and RC5 params.

Make RC2 ASN1 code use the effective key bits
and not the key length.

TODO: document how new API works.

Declare ciphers in terms of macros. This reduces
the amount of code and places each block cipher EVP
definition in a single file instead of being spread
over 4 files.

Remove duplicated code in EVP.

Second phase of EVP cipher overhaul.

Change functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() so they now return a
value. These normally have software only implementations
which cannot fail so this was acceptable. However ciphers
can be implemented in hardware and these could return errors.

Beginnings of EVP cipher overhaul. This should eventually
enhance and tidy up the EVP interface.

This patch adds initial support for variable length ciphers
and changes S/MIME code to use this.

Some other library functions need modifying to support use
of modified cipher parameters.

Also need to change all the cipher functions that should
return error codes, but currenly don't.

And of course it needs extensive testing...

call to RSA_get_default_method might have returned FALSE.

This change fixes that; now any called to RSA_new(), RSA_new_method(NULL), or
RSA_get_default_method() will ensure that a default is chosen if it wasn't
already.

Basically if the translation flag is set, the string is not too
long, and there appears to be no path information in the string,
then it is converted to whatever the standard should be for the
DSO_METHOD in question, eg;
    blah --> libblah.so   on *nix, and
    blah --> blah.dll     on win32.

This change also introduces the DSO_ctrl() function that is used
by the name translation stuff.

Their solution for CRAY is somewhat awkward.
I'll assume that a "short" is 32 bits on CRAY to avoid the
#ifdef _CRAY

        unsigned int a:32;
        unsigned int b:32;

    typedef DES_LONG XXX;

If SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE is set, don't waste time in SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh
on computing a DH key that will be ignored anyway.

ssltest -dhe1024dsa (w/ 160-bit sub-prime) had an unfair performance
advantage over -dhe1024 (safe prime): SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE was
effectively always enabled because SSL_new ignored the DH key set in
the SSL_CTX.  Now -dhe1024 takes the server only about twice as long
as -dhe1024dsa instead of three times as long (for 1024 bit RSA
with 1024 bit DH).
