* Attempt to move the compilation of PC-Alpine to using openssl.
Currently only the WNT port works. The WXP port will stay in LibreSSL, and I still need to test if the W32 port will stay with OpenSSL or LibreSSL.

+ OpenSSL 3.0.0-dev
+
+ Copyright (c) 1998-2018 The OpenSSL Project
+ Copyright (c) 1995-1998 Eric A. Young, Tim J. Hudson
+ All rights reserved.
+
+ DESCRIPTION
+ -----------
+
+ The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
+ commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the
+ Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols (including SSLv3) as well as a
+ full-strength general purpose cryptographic library.
+
+ OpenSSL is descended from the SSLeay library developed by Eric A. Young
+ and Tim J. Hudson.
+
+ The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, which means
+ that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial
+ purposes as long as you fulfill its conditions.
+
+ OVERVIEW
+ --------
+
+ The OpenSSL toolkit includes:
+
+ libssl (with platform specific naming):
+ Provides the client and server-side implementations for SSLv3 and TLS.
+
+ libcrypto (with platform specific naming):
+ Provides general cryptographic and X.509 support needed by SSL/TLS but
+ not logically part of it.
+
+ openssl:
+ A command line tool that can be used for:
+ Creation of key parameters
+ Creation of X.509 certificates, CSRs and CRLs
+ Calculation of message digests
+ Encryption and decryption
+ SSL/TLS client and server tests
+ Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail
+ And more...
+
+ INSTALLATION
+ ------------
+
+ See the appropriate file:
+ INSTALL Linux, Unix, Windows, OpenVMS, ...
+ NOTES.* INSTALL addendums for different platforms
+
+ SUPPORT
+ -------
+
+ See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details on how to obtain
+ commercial technical support. Free community support is available through the
+ openssl-users email list (see
+ https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for further details).
+
+ If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
+ first:
+
+ - Download the latest version from the repository
+ to see if the problem has already been addressed
+ - Configure with no-asm
+ - Remove compiler optimization flags
+
+ If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information
+ and create an issue on GitHub:
+
+ - OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a'
+ - Configuration data: output of 'perl configdata.pm --dump'
+ - OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
+ - Compiler Details (name, version)
+ - Application Details (name, version)
+ - Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
+ - Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
+
+ Just because something doesn't work the way you expect does not mean it
+ is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL. Use the openssl-users email list for this type
+ of query.

+
+ LEGALITIES
+ ----------
+
+ A number of nations restrict the use or export of cryptography. If you
+ are potentially subject to such restrictions you should seek competent
+ professional legal advice before attempting to develop or distribute
+ cryptographic code.
