Could someone explain to me what's really the deal with the --prefix
and --openssldir options to Configure? As it currently is, the whole
thing is a heap of inconsistency. Depending on what is actually
given, the final result may be one of the following:
openssldir == prefix
openssldir == prefix + "/ssl"
This translates into the OPENSSLDIR and INSTALLTOP macros i Makefile.ssl,
and gives clearly different installations because some of the
installation actions use OPENSSLDIR while others use INSTALLTOP.
So please tell me if there was some kind of thought behind this or if
this needs some hacking. As it is right now, it's terribly confusing.
It looks like what you should use to get the kind of installation
that's usually mentioned is --openssldir. That makes prefix and
openssldir equal.
