Hello,

I think a post of 266Kb to a public mail-list is more than a little
unnecessary - a URL to a place where they can be downloaded would be far
preferable. And FWIW, your mail agent is buggy or misconfigured - it
doesn't word-wrap lines in its plain-text output as it should.

0.9.6* releases are strictly for bug-fixes, so that is out of the
question. 0.9.7 is already in beta-testing so I'd similarly doubt
inclusion of anything new in there - especially as it only has to trip up
compilation on one platform for it to break the release at this late
stage. Given the size of the attachments you sent, I expect that this risk
would be considered unacceptable, though other team members may have
differing views on that ...?

BTW: Have you tested compilation of this code on other platforms besides
Linux? (Even if the ENGINE is only useful on Linux, the code will still
need to compile smoothly on all other platforms unless you have explicitly
disabled it on everything except Linux - ie. similarly to the
OpenBSD-specific /dev/crypto support ENGINE).

Could you please open a ticket on the openssl request-tracker for this?
   http://www.openssl.org/support/rt2.html
That's the appropriate place for this sort of change request.

NB: I'm aware you mailed in the past about a previous version of your
code, but as you'll notice on "RT" there's other tasks in the pipeline too
that have been waiting there a while. I'll do my best to take a look at
your code as soon as I can, though others (not necessarily on the openssl
team) could certainly assist by peer-reviewing code submissions on RT if
they really want to help. <a not very subtle hint to developers lurking on
the list>

Cheers,
Geoff
