+ GNU C (CygWin32)
+ ---------------
+
+ CygWin32 provides a bash shell and GNU tools environment running on
+ NT 4.0, Windows 9x and Windows 2000. Consequently, a make of OpenSSL
+ with CygWin is closer to a GNU bash environment such as Linux rather
+ than other W32 makes that are based on a single makefile approach.
+ CygWin32 implements Posix/Unix calls through cygwin1.dll, and is
+ contrasted to Mingw32 which links dynamically to msvcrt.dll or
+ crtdll.dll.
+
+ To build OpenSSL using CygWin32:
+
+ * Install CygWin32 (see http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin)
+
+ * Install Perl and ensure it is in the path (recent Cygwin perl 
+   (version 5.6.1-2 of the latter has been reported to work) or
+   ActivePerl)
+
+ * Run the CygWin bash shell
+
+ * $ tar zxvf openssl-x.x.x.tar.gz
+   $ cd openssl-x.x.x
+   $ ./Configure no-threads Cygwin
+   [...]
+   $ make
+   [...]
+   $ make test
+   $ make install
+
+ This will create a default install in /usr/local/ssl.
+
+ CygWin32 Notes:
+
+ "make test" and normal file operations may fail in directories
+ mounted as text (i.e. mount -t c:\somewhere /home) due to CygWin
+ stripping of carriage returns. To avoid this ensure that a binary
+ mount is used, e.g. mount -b c:\somewhere /home.
+
+ As of version 1.1.1 CygWin32 is relatively unstable in its handling
+ of cr/lf issues. These make procedures succeeded with versions 1.1 and
+ the snapshot 20000524 (Slow!).
+
+ "bc" is not provided in the CygWin32 distribution.  This causes a
+ non-fatal error in "make test" but is otherwise harmless.  If
+ desired, GNU bc can be built with CygWin32 without change.
+
+
+ Installation
+ ------------
+
+ If you used the CygWin procedure above, you have already installed and
+ can skip this section.  For all other procedures, there's currently no real
+ installation procedure for Win32.  There are, however, some suggestions:
+
+    - do nothing.  The include files are found in the inc32/ subdirectory,
+      all binaries are found in out32dll/ or out32/ depending if you built
+      dynamic or static libraries.
+
+    - do as is written in INSTALL.Win32 that comes with modssl:
+
+       $ md c:\openssl 
+       $ md c:\openssl\bin
+       $ md c:\openssl\lib
+       $ md c:\openssl\include
+       $ md c:\openssl\include\openssl
+       $ copy /b inc32\*               c:\openssl\include\openssl
+       $ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.lib c:\openssl\lib
+       $ copy /b out32dll\libeay32.lib c:\openssl\lib
+       $ copy /b out32dll\ssleay32.dll c:\openssl\bin
+       $ copy /b out32dll\libeay32.dll c:\openssl\bin
+       $ copy /b out32dll\openssl.exe  c:\openssl\bin
+
+      Of course, you can choose another device than c:.  C: is used here
+      because that's usually the first (and often only) harddisk device.
+      Note: in the modssl INSTALL.Win32, p: is used rather than c:.
