These DLLs were compiled after modifying some files, making them compatible
with 0.9.6 aware programs like Proxomitron.  All changed files are included
with this distribution.

The original changes were done by netlaw in June 2003, bringing back
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms.


OpenSSL 0.9.8a brought a major change in the way SSL_METHOD is initialized,
apparently breaking backwards compatibility again, see:
http://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html

For this reason the included DLLs stick to 0.9.8, but include two security
patches, implemented in the official 0.9.8c revision and above:

Patch for RSA Signature Forgery.
http://www.openssl.org/news/patch-CVE-2006-4339.txt

Patch for Potential SSL 2.0 rollback.
http://www.openssl.org/news/patch-CAN-2005-2969.txt


In case of future major vulnerabilies, if you found a patch from a trusted
source, or even a way to make DLL initialization backwards compatible again,
you can reach me at configbugs at gmail dot com.  Asking someone with profound
C++ knowledge may be the better choice tho. ;-)
