I can confirm that I did compared the old and the new release. Since the old release did not had a configure script (*without* the .ac!) in its release tarball I came to the conclusion that this might be unneeded and in fact it is. My guess is that it will be recreated from configure.ac (as it should be). > I did not look too closely at the older one but the newer does check for > OpenSSL present or not __and then uses this in src/Makevars.in__ so if it > were me I consider switching to this.
