   Copied files?  What's copied?  I thought that I had eliminated all
the file copying (and the need for any symlinks).

   Who uses anything else?

   I changed the library names from xxx to SSL_xxx to look more like
HP's SSL$xxx (and so I could find them), but I don't see a good reason
to go further than that.  I believe that many people and procedures use
these SSL* logical names to determine which SSL package is being used. 
Making everything look exactly the same would seem likely to cause more
trouble than leaving them different.  If there _is_ a good reason to
make a change like this, please explain why, how, and so on, and why it
wouldn't break a lot of existing stuff.
