+  *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLENENTOFDEFAULT
+     to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
+     which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
+     [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
+
+  *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
+     directories.  The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
+     build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
+     some local tweaks:
+
+       # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree.  In
+       # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
+       # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
+       mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
+       cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
+       (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
+               mkdir -p `dirname $F`
+               ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
+       done
+
+     To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
+     is a good thing.  If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
+     it probably means the source directory is very clean.
+     [Richard Levitte]
+
+  *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
+     pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
+     the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
+     data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
