OpenSSL beta testing on Solaris and z/OS

[Dr Paul Dale]

Dennis,

Thanks for the information.  Solaris and z/OS are not tested by the 
project, so it's good to know they aren't too far from working out of 
the box.

We would definitely be interested in a pull request with your fixes at 
some stage -- post 3.0 since it's almost certainly too late now.
