I had a brief look at the patch. Thre are quite a few C++ style comments in
there which cause issues on some compilers. If you up the gcc warning levels
these will be obvious (see $gcc_devteam_warn in the Configure script).

This can't go into 1.0.0 because that's in a feature freeze. It could go into
HEAD (which will be 1.1.0) and 1.0.1 (no branch exists for this yet).

This really needs EVP support though. Applications should avoid use of low
level APIs because they prohibit the use of ENGINEs and such things as FIPS
require the use of EVP.
