* "no-dso" option available in Configure so that all DSO methods will
return NULL, overriding any support the platform might otherwise
have built.
* dlfcn_no_h config string now available rather than just dlfcn. This
is for platforms that have dlfcn.h functions but do not have (or
need) the dlfcn.h header file.
variety of platforms. A few are missing, and they will be added in
eventually, but as this is new stuff, it was better to not break lots of
platforms in one go that we can't easily test. The changes to "Configure"
should illustrate how to add support to other systems if you feel like
having a go.
NB: I'll add something shortly to allow you to add "dlfcn.h" support on
those platforms that don't have (or need) a dlfcn.h header file. (The
symbol for Configure will probably by "dlfcn_no_h").
Thanks to Richard Levitte, who is responsible for the dso_dl.c support,
understanding the trickier aspects of the build process, and giving great
feedback on everything else.
[Don't use this stuff if you're easily offended by changes to the
interface or behaviour - it's still work in progress.]
PR:
the build process (an upcoming commit no doubt), and is very much *new*
code - what that means is that it compiles ok - usually. It certainly
doesn't mean it runs well or even properly yet. Please don't muck round
with this unless you're looking to help out and hunt bugs. :-)
Currently this code doesn't have any support for controlling the "load"
behaviour (eg. paths, filename translations, etc). That'll be handled
using DSO_ctrl() and various flags, once we work out a sensible set of
flags.
both a patch level and a beta status. IMHO, it also makes more sense
to have beta status be part of the development status than to have it
be an alternate name for patch levels under special conditions.

Their solution for CRAY is somewhat awkward.
I'll assume that a "short" is 32 bits on CRAY to avoid the
#ifdef _CRAY
typedef struct {
unsigned int a:32;
unsigned int b:32;
} XXX;
#else
typedef DES_LONG XXX;
#endif
This was meant for building individual ciphers separately;
but nothing of this is maintained, it does not work
because we rely on central configuration by the Configure
utility with <openssl/opensslconf.h> etc., so the files
are only wasting space and time.
