If anything, I've noticed that there were a few headers that conflicted
with local ones here.  The ones I caught were err.h and md5.h.  I'm
thinking that perhaps an easy way to accomplish this would be to create a
"namespace" for the SSL headers.  Since it seems like md5.h and err.h
aren't going to be included directly... they could fit in say <ssl/*>....

Well, to do that, I'd have to put /usr/local/include before /usr/include
on the include search path.  Not somethign I'm terribly interested in.
