Actually, the "bug" is really documented in the man-page for ld, so
it's really a misfeature according to the jargon file (4.0.0)
definition:
":misfeature: /mis-fee'chr/ or /mis'fee`chr/ /n./ A feature
that eventually causes lossage, possibly because it is not adequate
for a new situation that has evolved. Since it results from a
deliberate and properly implemented feature, a misfeature is not a
bug."

For those wanting to build for several platforms with the same source
directory, making a separate directory tree with lots of symbolic links
seems to be the solution. Unfortunately, Configure doesn't take appropriate
steps to support this solution (as in removing a file that's going to be
rewritten). This change corrects that situation. Now I just have to
find all other places where there's lack of support for this.

Set up the engine before doing anything random-related, since engine randomness
is only used for seeding and doing it in the wrong order will mean seeding
is done before the engine randomness is hooked in.

There's an ongoing project to bring some kind of path selection
mechanism to the ENGINE framework. This means there there are going
to be new functionality for the DSO part, and ultimately some way of
merging two file specifications together.
This commit places the merging code into the repository. It's
currently not used anywhere, and hasn't been tested at all. It may be
full of errors, including syntactical ones. Those will be fixed as
promptly as possible.
This scheme leads to failure, if header files with the OS's true definition
of crypt() are processed _after_ des_old.h was processed. This is e.g. the
case on HP-UX with unistd.h.
As evp.h now again includes des.h (which includes des_old.h), this problem
only came up after this modification.
Solution: move header files (indirectly) including e_os.h before the header
files (indirectly) including evp.h.

A number of includes were removed from evp.h some time ago. The reason
was that they weren't really needed any more for EVP itself. However,
it seems like soma applications (I know about OpenSSH, but there may
be more) used evp.h as the 'load all' header file, which makes sense
since we try our best to promote the use of EVP instead of the lower
level crypto algorithms. Therefore, I put the inclusions back so
the application authors don't get too shocked by all the errors they
would otherwise get.
Thanks to Theo de Raadt for making us aware of this.

Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible the
caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string data
when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.

Support building the distribution .tar file on platforms with limited
argument list length. This requires Gnu-tar. As we use the non-standard
"tardy" software anyway, it doesn't hurt too much to require Gnu-tar.
"make dist" will probably only be used by team-members anyway.
