It's also bundled in my Apple osX where my iPhone development environment lives, not to stray TOO far afield. *g*

The SSH implementation installed on the systems will likely also require it. Adding another makes no sense, especially when we already have openssl's sitting there from everything else. Given that we can SSH across endianess and int sizes I assume that all of that is covered properly in the openssl implementation.
