Really I think that time to forget 8.3 naming is already here for five
years or so. I suspect that 32-bit openssl applications won't work on
Win16 with Win32s anyway. And it is only case where 8.3 matters for
32bit DLLs.

As to source file naming, I don't think 8.3 is neccessary even if DJGPP
target is supported. It is easier to use cross-compiler or use Windows
platform for compiling.

This is good reason. eay suffix did exactly so. But I'm not sure that it
is strictly neccessary. At least origin is denoted in VERSION_INFO
