Understood.

The code was ripped directly from OpenSSL and is not a clean-room
implementation.

The complete source to build Curl 7.46 on OpenVMS is included in the
installation kits.

It is my understanding that HP will not be updating the kits that they
ported from OpenSSL/0.9.x as they are reported to have a OpenSSL 1.x
kit. I do not currently have that kit.

There is also an individual or a group, not sure which that is working
on an OpenSSL 1.0.x kit for VMS, this time with the public symbols
exported correctly. Once that is done, a lot of the OpenSSL hacks in
the VMS specific code will be able to be removed.

So the Curl 7.46 kit for OpenVMS will probably be the last one I build
against the HP SSL 1.4(OpenSSL/0.9.x) kits that were bundled with the
VMS operating system.
