of libcrypto, then it is possible that when they are loaded they will share
the same static data as the loading application/library. This means it will
be too late to set memory/ERR/ex_data/[etc] callbacks, but entirely
unnecessary to try. This change puts a static variable in the core ENGINE
code (contained in libcrypto) and a function returning a pointer to it. If
the loaded ENGINE's return value from this function matches the loading
application/library's return value - they share static data. If they don't
match, the loaded ENGINE has its own copy of libcrypto's static data and so
the callbacks need to be set.
Also, although 0.9.7 hasn't been released yet, it's clear this will
introduce a binary incompatibility between dynamic ENGINEs built for 0.9.7
and 0.9.8 (though others probably exist already from EC_*** hooks and
what-not) - so the version control values are correspondingly bumped.
automatic load of dynamic engines. Add functionality to the dynamic
engine to handle engine directories and loading from those. This
is currently NOT compatible with the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
similar environment variables.

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.

essentially overwrites itself with the new ENGINE, with the exception of
reference counts, ex_data structures, and other 'admin' elements. However
if the new ENGINE doesn't populate certain elements, there's the risk of
the "dynamic" ENGINE's elements showing through - the "cmd_defns" were just
one of the possibilities. This implements a more comprehensive cleanup.
empty set. This prevents engines that do not set the command
definitions themselves to inherit the ones from "dynamic", which would
otherwise be very confusing.
ENGINE_TABLE-based stuff - as described in crypto/engine/README.
Associated miscellaneous changes;
- the previous cipher/digest hooks that hardwired directly to EVP's
OBJ_NAME-based storage have been backed out. New cipher/digest support
has been constructed and will be committed shortly.
- each implementation defines its own ENGINE_load_<name> function now.
- the "openssl" ENGINE isn't needed or loaded any more.
- core (not algorithm or class specific) ENGINE code has been split into
multiple files to increase readability and decrease linker bloat.
- ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it wasn't really a good idea in the
first place and now, because of registration issues, can't be
meaningfully defined any more.
- BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] support is removed as per the README.
- a bug in enginetest.c has been fixed.
NB: This commit almost certainly breaks compilation until subsequent
changes are committed.
