The function rsa_eay_mont_helper() has been removed because it is no longer
needed after this change.

- possibility of re-creation of the blinding parameters after a
  fixed number of uses (suggested by Bodo)
- calculatition of the rsa::e in case it's absent and p and q
  are present (see bug report #785)
- improve the performance when if one rsa structure is shared by
  more than a thread (see bug report #555)
- fix the problem described in bug report #827
- hide the definition ot the BN_BLINDING structure in bn_blind.c

- update from current 0.9.7-stable CHANGES file:

  Now here we have "CHANGES between 0.9.7e and 0.9.8", and I hope
  that all patches mentioned for 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e actually are
  in the CVS HEAD, i.e. what is to become 0.9.8.

  I have rewritten the 'openssl ca -create_serial' entry (0.9.8)
  so that it explains the earlier change that is now listed (0.9.7e).

  The ENGINE_set_default typo bug entry has been moved from 0.9.8
  to 0.9.7b, which is where it belongs.
