There are some issues with a US company exporting anything dealing with
crypto - you may have heard that our government frowns on such practices
;-) .
However, since a diff file doesn't contain any actual algorithms I've been
TYRING to get the corporate layers to look at the situation and advise us
on whether or not we can push the changes back to OpenSSL. It would make
me happy to not re-port OpenSSL every time a new release comes out. It is
a two-day, error prone process.
All of the work I've done is in the Crypto and SSL directories. I haven't
touched the applications. Many of the changes were just a matter of not
#including files in the sys/stat directory - the Mac doesn't have them and
most of the files that include them don't even use them.
There is some new code in the locks section, which I'll update for Carbon
and MacOS X when the time comes.

My solution was to build a BIO method around our existing network
functions. That doesn't really help with anything in the apps folder,
though.
