NEEDS PATCH
- o non-blocking socket on AIX
- o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
- o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+ o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file

+ o #include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
+ e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use
+
+ o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
+ or an error is reported
