+The only changes the FreeS/WAN project has made to libdes-lite 4.04b are:
+
+We #ifdef-ed the declaration of DES_LONG in des.h, so it's more efficient
+on the Alpha, instead of just noting the issue in a comment. 
+
+We #ifdef-ed out the des_options() function in ecb_enc.c, because we don't
+use it, and its call to sprintf() can cause subtle difficulties when KLIPS
+is built as a module (depending on details of Linux configuration options).
+
+We changed some instances of CC=$(CC) in the Makefile to CC='$(CC)' to make
+it cope better with Linux kernel Makefile stupidities, and took out an
+explicit CC=gcc (unwise on systems with strange compilers).
+
+We deleted some references to <stdio.h> and <stdlib.h>, and a declaration
+of one function found only in the full libdes (not in libdes-lite), to
+avoid dragging in bits of stdio/stdlib unnecessarily.  (Our thanks to Hans
+Schultz for spotting this and pointing out the fixes.)
+
+We deleted a couple of .obj files in the asm subdirectory, which appear to
+have been included in the original library by accident. 
+
+We have added an include of our Makefile.inc file, to permit overriding
+things like choice of compiler (although the libdes Makefile would
+probably need some work to make this effective).
+
+
+
+Note that Eric Young is no longer at the email address listed in these
+files, and is (alas) no longer working on free crypto software.
