I don't think it's necessary as we aren't encrypting anything. We do
use the crypto library, but only for generating random UUIDs.

I don't know if it predates the recent OAuth patch, but I believe
the CouchDB now requires an export notice to be filed. The export

export notice is not filed beforehand.

It should have dawned on me earlier, but I stumbled upon it when I
built Erlang R13B01 from source without previously installing libssl-
dev. Erlang and CouchDB would build successfully, but CouchDB would
fail on start up. Surprised me that CouchDB requires ssl to launch.
