Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
+ --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
+ straightforward and less interdependent.
+
+ --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
+ where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
+ going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
+
+ --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
+ location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
+ managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
+ installed.
+ If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
+ values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
+ be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
+ The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
+
+ Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
+ installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
+ [Richard Levitte]

*) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
