> Hi
> 
> in my home directory is libcrypto.tar.gz. This is the new crypto library
> that I have been talking about. Could some kind soul(s) please have a look
> at the way I have done the make and give some suggestions, please?
> 
> Notes:
> 
> - It is designed to be untarred in src/secure/lib, and will create a
> directory called libcrypto, which should (eventually) be added to the
> SUBDIR= in secure/lib/MAkefile.
> 
> - In the original code, the lib (now libcrypto/lib) directory made three
> libraries. I have redone this by making three directories at the same
> level as lib, (libcrypto, libssl and libRSAglue) to build them separately
> via SUBDIR.
> 
> - I have kept the original code and directory structure as unmodified as
> possible, to allow for maintenance. This has made my makefiles a bit
> complicated. I will happily entertain suggestions to simplify them.
> 
> - there are bits of code that are on shakey ground, legally, for US
> folk to use. This make system takes that into account by simply deleting
> the "naughty bits" (subdirectories).
> 
> - it has been suggested that libcrypto is a lousy name, and libdes is
> inadequate. What other suggestions for names are there? (I recognise
> that if the name used is not libdes, we may have to carry a symlink
> with that name for backward compatability with shared libraries).
> 
> - I am mainly (at this stage) looking for makefile review/suggestion.
> I'll ask for code revie a little later.
