It also told you to remove lib{crypto,ssl}.so.0.9.7 after running those
revdep-rebuild commands. revdep-rebuild finds that libssl.so.0.0.7 links
against libcrypto.so.0.9.7 and the hack (preserve_old_lib from eutils.eclass)
that the openssl ebuild uses to preserve those libraries until you've done
this makes it look like they belong to the new version of openssl (even
though they really don't)..
