[edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 2/6] CryptoPkg/OpensslLib: Exclude unnecessary files in process_files.pl

Hi Laszlo, 
	I think process_files.pl is used to control which of OpenSSL source files we need which we don't need.
	If we have unwanted files, the effective way is exclude them directly in process_files.pl.
    You can see process_files.pl
	
	> 129   ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ next if $s =~ "crypto/bio/b_print.c";

	Qing Long also use this way to exclude unwanted file.

	If the file (example: rand_unix.c) is used by OpenSSL internal, We can't exclude it in process_files.pl, 
	Than we consider submitting patches for OpenSSL.

	What do you think?

Thanks,
Xiaoyu

Please pick one of two:

- file a new TianoCore BZ about cleaning up this technical debt, and paste the BZ URL into the code, as a comment

- delay TianoCore BZ#1089 to the next edk2-stable release, and work with upstream OpenSSL to compile out parts of "randfile.c".

Thanks
Laszlo
