Cleanup old doc/*; remove CHANGES.SSLeay
Removed CHANGES.SSLeay Udpate README to be current. Updated fignerprints.txt to list only current release signers and to explain that is what it's used for. Removed the following: c-indentation.el -- doesn't go with our coding style openssl-shared.txt -- old info about shared library aides openssl.txt -- old info about X509v3 extension support/syntax ssleay.txt -- old info about OpenSSL's predecessor, back when programmers coded on COBOL sheets by candlelight Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org>

-The OpenSSL shared libraries are often installed in a directory like
-/usr/local/ssl/lib.
-
-If this directory is not in a standard system path for dynamic/shared
-libraries, then you will have problems linking and executing
-applications that use OpenSSL libraries UNLESS:
-
-* you link with static (archive) libraries. If you are truly
- paranoid about security, you should use static libraries.
-* you use the GNU libtool code during linking
- (http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html)
-* you use pkg-config during linking (this requires that
- PKG_CONFIG_PATH includes the path to the OpenSSL shared
- library directory), and make use of -R or -rpath.
- (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/)
-* you specify the system-wide link path via a command such
- as crle(1) on Solaris systems.
-* you add the OpenSSL shared library directory to /etc/ld.so.conf
- and run ldconfig(8) on Linux systems.
-* you define the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH, SHLIB_PATH (HP),
- DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (MacOS X) or PATH (Cygwin and DJGPP)
- environment variable and add the OpenSSL shared library
- directory to it.
-
-One common tool to check the dynamic dependencies of an executable
-or dynamic library is ldd(1) on most UNIX systems.
-
-See any operating system documentation and manpages about shared
-libraries for your version of UNIX. The following manpages may be
-helpful: ld(1), ld.so(1), ld.so.1(1) [Solaris], dld.sl(1) [HP],
-ldd(1), crle(1) [Solaris], pldd(1) [Solaris], ldconfig(8) [Linux],
-chatr(1) [HP].
