I'd be curious to see crypto/sha/asm/sha1-586.pl written in sed. Not!

If you can come up with a standard Makefile that works for VC++, Mingw32
and Borland C, and is easily kept in sync with the Unix Makefiles, great.

Show me one single .h file that is modified in place.
The only in-place changes are the dependencies in the Makefiles if you
remove a cipher (for example the Makefiles mustn't reference rsa.h if
that file doesn't exist) and when new files are added.
