+ * Header files in OpenSSL are being changed to reflect modern development
+ practices - Include files should all be guarded for inclusion by a define
+ and must be self contained, meaning they include all dependencies they need
+ to compile on their own. Headers have been changed to include guards and
+ to include the dependencies they require. Doing this will help the
+ future use of more modern tooling.
