apparently impossible to compose blended code with would perform
satisfactory on all x86 and x86_64 cores, an extra RC4_CHAR
code-path is introduced and P4 core is detected at run-time. This
way we keep original performance on non-P4 implementations and
turbo-charge P4 performance by factor of 2.8x (on 32-bit core).
"remaining relocations" in assembler modules. The latter seems to
be new behaviour, elder as/ld managed to resolve this relocations
as internal. It's possible to address this problem differently,
but I settle for -Bsymbolic...

x86*_nw.pl will be deleted. In addition this update implements initseg
on several additional [in addition to ELF] platforms. Functions registered
with initseg are supposed to be called prior main().
is to have a placeholder to small routines, which can be written only
in assembler. In IA-32 case this includes processor capability
identification and access to Time-Stamp Counter. As discussed earlier
OPENSSL_ia32cap is introduced to control recently added SSE2 code
pathes (see docs/crypto/OPENSSL_ia32cap.pod). For the moment the
code is operational on ELF platforms only. I haven't checked it yet,
but I have all reasons to believe that Windows build should fail to
link too. I'll be looking into it shortly...
build workaround (DJGPP swallows it too). One probably should do same
as with ELF calling it COFF, but I'm very short in COFF platforms, so
I just go for easy ad-hoc solution. I'll take care of merge to 0.9.7
later.
