e_os.h does not belong with the exported headers. Do not put it there

+       (This applies to openssl-0.9.6-stable too; openssl/conf.h is the

+       CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).

     o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
 
        1. The config vs. Configure scripts
