-     Configure configures various files by converting an existing .org file
-     into the real file. If you edit any files, remember that if a
-     corresponding .org file exists them the next time you run ./Configure
-     your changes will be lost when the file gets re-created from the .org
-     file. The files that are created from .org files are:
-
-       Makefile.ssl
-       crypto/des/des.h
-       crypto/des/des_locl.h
-       crypto/md2/md2.h
-       crypto/rc4/rc4.h
-       crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c

-       crypto/bf/bf_locl.h
-       crypto/idea/idea.h
-       crypto/bn/bn.h
+     Configure creates the Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org and defines
+     various macros in crypto/opensslconf.h (generated from
+     crypto/opensslconf.h.in).
