I did a test-build (haven't had time to see how to connect & run this,
but that's nothing new...).  I noticed that the VMS scripts aren't there
yet (the diffs are relatively small, so it should be easy to make those
for 2.8).

I'm a little puzzled:  there's nothing in the patches that imho should be
restricted/secure since all of the work is done in the (not included)
SSLeay library.  Can anyone explain why Fote didn't simply add the ifdef's
to 2.7.2?
