[BUG] Installation problem on cygwin

[Yann Coscoy]

Distribution: openssl-0.9.8a.tar.gz
System: Cygwin

Short description:
When command "./config" is executed, the protocols mdc2 and rc5 are not 
excluded in produced Makefile as it should be.

The command "make build_crypto build_engines" which follows fails.

Technical Description:
The script 'Configure' (line 1253) uses 'chop' function to suppress 
end-of-line characters. Unfortunalety under cygwin, the end-of-lines are 
not always correctly handled and some '\r' may be present in addition to 
'\n'.


Solution:
Replace 'chop' function by 's/[\r\n]+$//'.

Note:
This problem does not appear in all installations of cygwin, only in 
some of them.

Even better, replace it with chomp.  Doing it now.
