Agreed, but except for cleaning purposes, is there a reason to put architecture-independent files in architecture-specific directories? sms> I haven't done anything with the new (1.0.0 beta X) stuff sms> because it wasn't not clear that anyone was looking at the sms> changes I made to the old stuff. It's still not clear. I've looked, as I've said before. I've also applied the functional bits. Not the cosmetic bits, not the non-copying bits, as they really should make no difference, or? Also, the SSLfoo to SSL_foo logical name conversion... hmm, did I apply that? If I did, it should be reverted, at least in the 0.9.8 series, as such a change will only confuse the users... sms> I have a VAX with V5.5-2 and VAX C on it, but I'd be amazed if sms> this code could be built using VAX C.

I haven't had a VAX account for a long time... someone give me one and I'll play... sms> From: Richard Levitte [mailto:rich...@levitte.org] sms> sms> > I've looked through it, and applied almost all of it.

If those who do commit to the repository, I believe I'm the only one dealing with the VMS parts of the kit... Andy might play, but his focus is on other things, I think... sms> I had what I thought was a whole, working 0.9.8k kit, where sms> "working" means that the builds went through on VAX, Alpha, and sms> IA64.

Is there some plan sms> here? The plan I worked with (and thought I said) was to take the functional bits first, have them work, and take the cosmetics later... I had to do quite a lot of reading through your patches to extract what I judged to be functional. I may have missed some bits.
