Well, not today. There is one problem that stands in the way of using
automake, which is the layout of the files in the package. I only know
how to have libraries built for which all source files reside in the
same directory. This is more or less the same problem I've seen discussed
here for the creation of dynamic libs on UNIX. it acceptable to either
a) rearrange the source tree
b) require linking against more, finer grained, libraries
If either of these is okay, then using the GNU tools will be quite easy.

That's what I thought. I'm not trying to sound anti-perl, I just want
something that works too, but shared libraries would be nice, and I was
very displeased with the SSLeay-0.9.x Makefiles.
