Hello, I am a developer for the Clover boot loader project on sourceforge. We 
use EDKII as the base for our legacy firmware and interface to EFI components, 
you probably already know this since others from the project have brought bugs 
to your attention. I was wondering if it would be possible to use definitions 
in DEC format files. This would be very useful since we have included modified 
versions of openssl, and would like to be able to switch between versions of 
these with a simple definition of the version like -D OPENSSL_VERSION=1.0.1e 
from the command line. This works in the DSC and includes the right INF to be 
built. It however then fails because it includes the hard coded version from 
the DEC which does not honor the definition or !ifndef so it does not define 
the version correctly for the DEC and subsequently the version is different for 
the include files location. This causes a build conflict since pre 1.0 open ssl 
does not work the same as post. I'd rather not have to make multiple copies of 
the DEC file just to change one line. Would it be possible to allow these 
definitions in every build structure file, so that editing the file is not 
required? As it is now multiple files need to be edited just to change the 
version, however this could be achieved simply by checking whether the 
OPENSSL_VERSION macro was already defined or not and either defining it to a 
default version or doing nothing. Thanks for all your work!
