But in a case like this it isnt a SLOT. All openssl builds have
SLOT="0", they just provide diffrent library versions (0.9.6 and 0.9.7)
which cause this breakage.  Same goes against other such interesting
"known to break" things. (libpng was another pretty example. )


That doesn't mean its not good data to keep around.
