[QUESTION] Dependency on OpenSSL
I recall discussions of OpenSSL and updating our dependency on it to a better/patched version.
What I don't know is whether the binaries that are built and distributed directly by the project incorporate OpenSSL in any manner?
Can anyone clear that up?
1. Do our built binaries depend on and distribute OpenSSL in some manner?
2. Is this for all platforms or only some of them?

Don,
Thank you for the clarity. That is exactly what I needed to know.

Yes.

It appears that all do. That makes sense since Windows doesn't have it,
and on Linux you don't know what version will be present on the host
where the binaries are installed (and the OpenSSL ABI changes between
major release versions).
The FreeBSD port uses the system OpenSSL. It passes
--with-system-openssl to configure. This works for FreeBSD because
different binary packages are generated for each FreeBSD major version,
and within a FreeBSD major version the OpenSSL ABI does not change.
The lastest OpenSSL should just drop in. I haven't seen any problems
building on FreeBSD with the latest and greatest.
