That's the problem. I think introducing OpenSSL is going to be a big
nightmare for httpd (and I'll bet we get tons of -1s on the httpd side
for this). Whatever httpd needs should probably be in apr-util
(sha and md5) - everything else can use OpenSSL.
I'd like to hear feedback from others. I already stated my position
earlier this week. -- justin
