As far as I can tell, all the changes are acceptable, at least for 0.9.8-dev (I need to do further checks before accepting it into the 0.9.7 branch), except for the following: Paul.Green> 3. apps/Makefile.ssl.

Paul.Green> (I think that the makefiles should put a chinese wall Paul.Green> between building and testing, so that cross-platform Paul.Green> builds never try to execute any files). While I understand the cross-compile argument, the certificate rehashing isn't just there for "make test", it's there for anyone who wants to try out any certificate-checking openssl command. Therefore, it is part of the build itself. At the same, it's really silly to have exactly the same rehash done in Makefile.org and in apps/Makefile.ssl, thanks for making us aware of that... Now to something completely different: Paul.Green> 6. doc/crypto/des_modes.pod.

You can check for yourself in a recent 0.9.7 snapshot (you find those in ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot). ----- Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.
