2024-02-22Add atexit configuration option to using atexit() in libcrypto at build-time.Randall S. Becker
This fixes an issue with a mix of atexit() usage in DLL and statically linked libcrypto that came out in the test suite on NonStop, which has slightly different DLL unload processing semantics compared to Linux. The change allows a build configuration to select whether to register OPENSSL_cleanup() with atexit() or not, so avoid situations where atexit() registration causes SIGSEGV. INSTALL.md and CHANGES.md have been modified to include and describe this option. Signed-off-by: Randall S.

2022-12-08Fix treatment of BUILD_METADATARichard Levitte
According to documentation [^1], the BUILD_METADATA from VERSION.dat should be prefixed with a plus sign when used. It is given this treatment in Configure, but not in all other scripts that use VERSION.dat directly. This change fixes that.
