See my explanation in the post dated 9 June 2002 with subject
re: [openssl.org #75]. Those links in the release version are a
significant problem in systems that don't have symbolic links (such as
DJGPP). They may result in creation of zero byte files which interfere
with making links to include/openssl. A significant part of the patch
I submitted was to put the files in the correct directories when those
symbolic links from the distribution don't work. If the patch for
ticket #75 is accepted, you shouldn't need to have any symbolic links
in the release distribution anymore, since the Configure file will
take care of making the links.
