Configurations of OpenSSL target platforms
==========================================

+Configuration targets are a collection of facts that we know about
different platforms and their capabilities. We organise them in a
hash table, where each entry represent a specific target.
+Note that configuration target names must be unique across all config
+files. The Configure script does check that a config file doesn't
+have config targets that shadow config targets from other files.

In each table entry, the following keys are significant:
inherit_from => Other targets to inherit values from.
