Not true - I remember Eric announcing at some time that from the "next
version" on, there should be no further arbitrary incompabibilities between
binaries, because he built the .DEF files to set the ordinal position of
each entry point. You might remember me announcing patent-free binaries
which are still on the SSLeay ftp site. These come with hand-edited .DEF
files that I made.
IBM AIX shared libraries are the same BTW.

I think that dummy functions are a bad idea. It's possible to call the
C preprocessor (perhaps via "cc") on all platforms and I think we should
make use of it, because it can be configured using the same symbols that
the main source uses. Makes it easier to remember too, once you've seen
that the file contains #if NO_RSA in it. Perl is an option of course - it
would be able to generate AIX ".exp" files from the same source.
