Something like this might be nice for other reasons:
If OpenSSl could build into multiple libs, eg. libssl, libcrypto,
libhash, libx509, libbn, etc. Then app developers could link to
specific subsets of OpenSSL.
Another advantage would be to make parts of the library distributable
and hackable by people who live in countries with oppressive export
regimes.
Thoughts?
