I normaly do exactly that.  But that still leaves the user with 481 MB of bloat 
in /usr/sfw , most of which is not required by the core O/S.  This does not 
include the enormous bloat of Gnome, either.  If OpenSSL is a requirement, the 
suggestion was made  to move it to /usr/lib, which is reasonable.  Forcing the 
user to install /usr/sfw with mysql, ImageMagick, and a host of other programs, 
including a specific version of GCC and its libraries should _not_ be required 
as part of the core O/S installation.
