Official Android OpenSSL patched to build as an external project with the Android NDK

This is the official Android OpenSSL sources with the makefiles lightly patched to build as an external project with the Android NDK. Similar to https://github.com/eighthave/openssl-android but updated for Android 4.0.3 (OpenSSL 1.0.0e) and NDK r8d.

To build, run:

ndk-build -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)

• Upstream: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/openssl
• Makefile patches inpired by: https://github.com/eighthave/openssl-android

To see the patches, run:

git remote add upstream https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/openssl
git fetch upstream
git diff upstream/ics-plus-aosp 

Background

Although Android ships with OpenSSL, it understandably doesn't provide libcrypto and libssl as part of its public API. Thus developers porting OpenSSL using apps to Android need a project like this.
