ben> Lots of stuff internal to OpenSSL builds with the uninstalled version.

I may not understand the exact effects of using ranlib, and even more
the effects of not using it.  As far as I've understood, ranlib has
the effect of speeding up linking of programs, but not the size or
performance of that program after linking has been done...

ben> apps/openssl and test are built) might work.

That shouldn't be too hard...
