* All external programs and scripts are now called by execve() on unix and
CreateProcess on Windows.
* The system() function is no longer used.
* Argument lists for external programs and scripts are now built by the new
argv_printf function which natively outputs to string arrays (i.e.
char *argv[] lists), never truncates its output, and eliminates the security
issues inherent in formatting and parsing command lines, and dealing with
argument quoting.
* The --script-security directive has been added to offer policy controls on
OpenVPN's execution of external programs and scripts.
Also added a new plugin example (openvpn/plugin/examples/log.c) that logs
information to stdout for every plugin method called by OpenVPN.

likely() and unlikely() macro additions to syshead.h) and r3061.
I would like to give more thought to the bigger issue of fortifying
buffer.[ch] through the use of additional defensive programming techniques.

to syshead.h
Introduced BUF_MAX constant to limit struct buffer offset and length
values. BUF_MAX has been set to 2^20.
Use likely() and unlikely() macros in buffer.h code to allow the
compiler to generate more efficient code.

Added client authentication and packet filtering capability
to management interface.
Extended packet filtering capability to work on both --dev tun
and --dev tap tunnels.
Updated valgrind-suppress file.
Made "Linux ip addr del failed" error nonfatal.
Amplified --client-cert-not-required warning.
Added #pragma pack to proto.h.

Support asynchronous authentication by plugins by allowing
OPENVPN_PLUGIN_AUTH_USER_PASS_VERIFY to return
OPENVPN_PLUGIN_FUNC_DEFERRED. See comments in
openvpn-plugin.h for documentation. Enabled by ENABLE_DEF_AUTH.
Added a simple packet filter functionality that can be driven by
a plugin. See comments in openvpn-plugin.h for documentation.
Enabled by ENABLE_PF.
See openvpn/plugin/defer/simple.c for examples of ENABLE_DEF_AUTH
and ENABLE_PF.
"TLS Error: local/remote TLS keys are out of sync" is no longer a
fatal error for TCP-based sessions, since the error can arise
normally in the course of deferred authentication. In a related
change, allow packet-id sequence to begin at some number n > 0 for
TCP sessions, rather than strictly requiring sequence to begin
at 1.
Added a test to configure.ac for LoadLibrary function on Windows.
Modified "make dist" function to include all files from
install-win32 so that ./domake-win can be run from a
tarball-expanded directory.
setenv and setenv-safe directives may now omit a value argument
which defaults to "".

Allow plugin and push directives to have multiple
parameters specified instead of only 1 quoted
parameter.
Allow plugin and push directives to have multi-line
parameter lists, such as:
<plugin>
my-plugin.so
parm1
parm2
</plugin>
