This patch adds support for the NetWare OS to OpenSSL 0.9.7. After
applying this patch, the instructions for building for NetWare can be
found in the "INSTALL.NW" file in the root directory. This patch
attempts to minimize impact on other platforms through the judicious use
of the preprocessor guard "OPENSSL_SYS_NETWARE". It does introduce one
new general purpose function "ERR_free_state_table" which we found
useful when cleaning up threads.

I have applied the patch to the latest 0.9.7c source and built for both
NetWare and Windows. The test suite runs correctly on both platforms
with the patch applied.

I understand that active development on the 0.9.7 code is limited.
These changes, however, have minimal impact on existing code and I hope
you will consider them. If the patch is not accepted for 0.9.7, I
request that this patch file be added to the "Contributions" page in the
same manner as the 0.9.6 NetWare patch.

Thank you for your consideration of this work.

Note: This is a repeat of a request made in June. The patch file has
been updated, however, to address a couple of minor issues discovered
when migrating to OpenSSL 0.9.7c.
