I've made a "system-openssl-dev" package that will allow packagers to force the use of the system OpenSSL rather than the fink- provided one. I'm going to be using it for KDE and a few other things to get rid of the hell that is the ssl/non-ssl split, and the accompanying license craziness.

Since apple's openssl is provided with the OS, it should be OK to distribute binaries linked this way.

Ben,

Two questions:

1) Does this mean that we can set
  Depends: openssl097-dev | system-openssl-dev
and start putting SSL-dependent .info files in main/finkinfo?

2) If I build an SSL-dependent package against system-openssl-dev and later install openssl097-shlibs the package will remain linked against the system openssl, right? Could that be a problem?
