Yes, it should. I'm already on the way preparing cleanups
in apps/.

I think they mainly mess up the installation directory.  It would be better to
force people to run the commands as "openssl <command>" as CVS does with "cvs
<command>".  This way we've a consistent command line tool for which only one
openssl(1) manual page exists.  And the interface is similar to "cvs" which is
a clean one.

So, I want to cleanup apps/ as following:

1. No generation of links
2. Renaming of ssleay to openssl.
