This probably requires reference counters and locks as well.  To be
implemented later.

Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().

Note: this is almost identical to the patch submitted to openssl-dev
by Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com> except some redundant
EVP_add_digest_()/EVP_cleanup() calls were removed and some changes
made to avoid compiler warnings.

In the new crypto/ui/, this was changed into tty (which is usually
/dev/tty), i.e. the FILE * used for reading passwords from the user.
However stdio buffering for read/write streams is not without pitfalls
(passwords would be echoed on some systems).
To avoid problems, split tty into tty_in and tty_out (which are
opened separately).

(for new functions...).  One might still want to be able to pass down
a user-data pointer to be used by the UI.  However, ex_data doesn't
quite cut it, since that means the appropriate index to it might need
to be shared between parts that aren't really related in that sense,
and would require the currently hidden (static) index holders to be
uncovered.  Not a good thing.  Therefore, add the possibility to add a
user-data pointer to a UI.
