Hello,
I would like to request a documentation addition to `--with-openssl`:
```
diff --git a/m4/gl-openssl.m4 b/m4/gl-openssl.m4
index 70f43a5582..f75f52c324 100644
--- a/m4/gl-openssl.m4

@@ -24,8 +24,8 @@ AC_DEFUN([gl_CRYPTO_CHECK],
[[ --with-openssl[=ARG] use libcrypto hash routines for the
hash functions
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512.
Valid ARGs are:
- 'yes',
- 'no',
+ 'yes' ==> use external openssl library,
+ 'no' ==> use gnulib version instead of openssl,
'auto' => use if any version available,
'auto-gpl-compat' => use if GPL compatible
version
available,
```
This is to prevent confusion over the implications of the options "yes"
and "no". In particular, "no" should make clear that those hash
functions are still available but will use the gnulib version instead of
the external openssl version, so it's only a difference in performance
(maybe) not functionality.
This was motivated by this discussion in GNU Octave here:
https://octave.discourse.group/t/7311
If you accept this change, I do not seek to be named for it.
Thanks,
Arun
