03b637a730 Improves the proxy certificates howto doc.
The current documentation contains a bunch of spelling and grammar mistakes. I also
found it hard to understand some paragraphs, so here is my attempt to improve its
readability.

d9bfe4f97c Added restrictions on the use of proxy certificates, as they may pose

16b1b03543 Implement self-signing in 'openssl ca'. This makes it easier to have
the CA certificate part of the CA database, and combined with
'unique_subject=no', it should make operations like CA certificate
roll-over easier.

cf1b7d9664 Make all configuration macros available for application by making
sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
opensslconf.h.

I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.
