We have no /dev/random to get strong random numbers on vms...

I have no idea, I only have a webserver and normal FTP to test with
and no ftps server.
also ldap and all the other have not been tested.
telnet will not work as it uses select on the stdin to wait for input.
(maybe a future version ov de DECC$RTL wil solve this.)
Or we need to build some ast functional lookalike.

The VMS port definitely needs more work but I have a limited amount of
resources available. The more people that get involved the better I think.
I just started to get it compiling etc. And now it is a quite clean compile.
I do check it against our WASD webserver but otherwise I have no means of
testing.
The test environment delivered with curl will not run on VMS as it depends on
fork()/exec() and probably needs a lot of work. It also requires a port of
some other tools like stunnel.
