Bruce Momjian 76eca0ec98 This patch allows contrib/pgcrypto to build with OpenSSL 0.9.8
(currently in beta) when cryptolib = openssl.  According to the
following checkin message from several years ago, OpenSSL application
developers should no longer rely on <openssl/evp.h> to include
everything they need:

http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=9888

This patch adds the necessary header files.  It doesn't appear to
break anything when building against OpenSSL 0.9.7.

BTW, core appears to build and work fine with OpenSSL 0.9.8.  I've
built 7.3 through HEAD against 0.9.8-beta6 without noticing any
problems.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because
they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of
the main source tree.  This does not preclude their usefulness.

Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the
module.  Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed with
`gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the `configure'
script in the top-level directory.  Some directories supply new
user-defined functions, operators, or types.  In these cases, after you have
installed the files you need to register the new entities in the database
system by running the commands in the supplied .sql file.  For example,

	$ psql -d dbname -f module.sql

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
