"symbols" including functions (of all prototypes( and variables. Whilst
casting any function type to another violates ANSI C (I believe), it is
a necessary evil in shared-library APIs. However, it is quite
conceivable that functions in general and data symbols could very well
be represented differently to each other on some systems, as Bodo said;

I agree. So this change splits the "dso_bind" handler in DSO_METHOD
into "dso_bind_var" and "dso_bind_func". Similarly the exported
function DSO_bind() has been split in two. I've also put together
changes for the various DSO_METHOD implementations, but so far only
DSO_dlfcn() has been tested. BTW: The prototype for dso_bind had been
a bit strange so I've taken the opportunity to change its shape (in
both variations).

Also, the README has been updated - particularly with a note about
using customised native name-translation for shared libraries (and that
you can't do it yet).

BN_mod_exp. Call the regular atalla mod_exp operation instead.

Also, "make update" has added some missing functions to libeay.num,
updated the TABLE for the alpha changes, and updated thousands of
dependancies that have changed from recent commits.

as expected -- maybe it's the different processor, maybe my
previous timings were too inaccurate.

Don't give performance gain estimates that appear to be more precise
than they really are, especially when they are wrong
(2/(1/1.15 + 1) = ca. 1.0698).

was a really bad idea.  For example, the following:

	#include <x509.h>
	#include <bio.h>
	#include <asn1.h>

would make sure that things like ASN1_UTCTIME_print() wasn't defined
unless you moved the inclusion of bio.h to above the inclusion of
x509.h.  The reason is that x509.h includes asn1.h, and the
declaration of ASN1_UTCTIME_print() depended on the definition of
HEADER_BIO_H.  That's what I call an obscure bug.

Instead, this change makes sure that whatever header files are needed
for the correct process of one header file are included automagically,
and that the definitions of, for example, BIO-related things are
dependent on the absence of the NO_{foo} macros.  This is also
consistent with the way parts of OpenSSL can be excluded at will.
