+  +) Add a general user interface API.  This is designed to replace things
+     like des_read_password and friends (backward compatibility functions
+     using this new API are provided).  The purpose is to remove prompting
+     functions from the DES code section as well as provide for prompting
+     through dialog boxes in a window system and the like.

+  *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
+     in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
+     RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case.  This has
+     caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
+     Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
+     DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
+     For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
+     environment variables.

   +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
      per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.

   +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition

      used only if the modulus is odd.  On 32-bit systems, it is faster
