Because the shared library support using shell scripts breaks too

Well, at http://www.engelschall.com/sw/mod_ssl/contrib/ there are
intel binaries now. Two points of caution to it:
- they are built from CVS snapshots. Steve Henson is working on
PKCS12 support which might break the standalone pkcs12 utility
he published.
- there is no corresponding source package because I did not
automate the complete build into a real spec file.
When I've found time to solve the second point, I'll upload new
binary and source packages with a higher release number and built
from the 'official' frozen 0.9.2 sources.
Because of that, the 'release number' is 0_0328 to reflect the
CVS snapshot it is made from. 'rpm -q --changelog openssl' will
show the top of the cvs CHANGES log.
