   Ooh.  Just moments too soon.  I went through the exercise again on an
openssl-1_0_0-stable-SNAP-20110323 kit, probably being a little more
careful.  Originals and changes should be available at:

http://antinode.info/ftp/openssl/1_0_0d/openssl-1_0_0-stable-SNAP-20110323_s1.zip

(I would have gotten back sooner, but the VAX is sooo sloooow....)

   Other than the (mostly esthetic) changes to the builders, there are
functional changes to "apps/CA.com" (first suggested last December, as I
recall) to avoid a DCL problem on VAX (possibly on old Alpha, too?):

[...]

%DCL-W-TKNOVF, command element is too long - shorten

   It happens because the old "CA.com" puts the full directory spec on
the command line so many times.  I forgot about it, because it happens
to me only in stable snapshots, because those directory names are so
much longer, but it could strike a real victim with a real released
version, too.  The new "CA.com" uses a (much shorter) logical name, and
seems to work well everywhere:

GIMP $ copy it$dkc0:[.apps]CA.com [.apps]

GIMP $ @ [.test]tests.com test_ca
@@@ TESTS.COM
---> TEST_CA
Generate and certify a test certificate via the 'ca' program
Making CA certificate ...
Generating a 512 bit RSA private key
[...]

   I may be running out of complaints.
