Only that any change would confuse those who already got accustomed to
--openssldir (and are now using, say, "./config --openssldir=/opt/openssl",
which would have to be replaced by "./config --openssldir=/opt/openssl
--prefix=/opt/openssl").
I'm not really sure what is preferrable (if it wasn't for backwards
compatibility, I'd say that there should just be --prefix
-- then I'd get a directory /opt/openssl/ssl, but so what).
In any case, if the meaning of --openssldir without --prefix
is changed, Configure should print a warning before exiting
when invoked with such arguments.
