When not working with CVS directly, you usually should do the following:
Extract the OpenSSL source tree and rename it to openssl-xxx.orig. Then
extract it once more and edit this tree to your personal requirements. Then go
up to the two tree directories and run "diff -ru3 openssl-XXX.orig
openssl-XXX". The output is a recursive (-r) unified diff (-u) with a context
of tree lines (-3) which is we usually treat as a "patch". That's all. You
can directly post this "patch" to the lists for review.
