That doesn't work on systems that use mangled names in the C libraries.
Removing const from appearing in system prototypes then requires non-const
*implementations* of all system library functions.
Please folk, let's not do *anything* to reduce platform support for OpenSSL.
The Mac *is* important, Win3.1 *is* important, and even though these entail
some additional hardship, we should just wear that. Make it easier where we
can, of course, but don't bust it. SSLeay made the impact it did at least
in part due to its cross-platform nature.
autoconf in PERL would still go looking in all the UNIX places for things.
A straightforward port won't work - it'll be a lot more work to make it useful
on these other platforms - particularly the Mac where there are many candidate
compilers with their own way of laying things out.
