Thanks Victor. I am on Linux, so I will ignore these updates.

Best Regards,
Brendan

This file is used to compile windows DLLs. If you are not on windows,
you can safely ignore it.

Even if you need to build windows version, it is better not to patch
this file, but regenerate it from scratch.

There is util/mkdef.pl script, which constructs windows .def file from
.num file. And this script have "update" option which regenerates
.num file from the header files.

run perl util/mkdef.pl crypto update
after applying other patches and you'll have libeay.num matching your
sources.
To be on the safe side, you can also regenerate ssleay.num as well

perl util/mkdef.pl ssl update

(these commands should be run from top of openssl source tree, not from
util directory.
