- hide the EC_KEY structure definition in ec_lcl.c + add
  some functions to use/access the EC_KEY fields
- change the way how method specific data (ecdsa/ecdh) is
  attached to a EC_KEY
- add ECDSA_sign_ex and ECDSA_do_sign_ex functions with
  additional parameters for pre-computed values
- rebuild libeay.num from 0.9.7

Use BUF_strlcat() instead of strcat().
Use BIO_snprintf() instead of sprintf().
In some cases, keep better track of buffer lengths.
This is part of a large change submitted by Markus Friedl <markus@openbsd.org>

rationale behind the move is that it's use by several applications.
The rationale behind the name change is that it describes what the
function does a bit better.

itself builds, but to alter the way openssl headers can be used from an API
point of view. The "deprecated" function wrappers will always remain inside
OpenSSL at least as long as they're still being used internally. :-)

The exception is dsaparam which has been updated to the BN_GENCB-based
functions to test the new functionality. If GENCB_TEST is defined, dsaparam
will support a "-timebomb <n>" switch to cancel parameter-generation if it
gets as far as 'n' seconds without completion.
