Hello,

The new config/make environment of AOLserver 3.5 and 4.0 support building
dynamic libraries with standard init routines if necessary.  This should
allow you to build/use OpenSSL as a simple library which the other modules
link against, eliminating the need to load an API module before other
modules.  This actually seams like the more consistant approach anyway -
modules shouldn't really rely on exported symbols from other modules.  Check
the nsthread/Makefile for an example.
