I just thougt that gcc represents the most widely used naming.


openssl built using Unix style tools certainly has a significant
deployed base.

There are widely deployed applications from

IBM (ships as part of the Access IBM service)
Time Warner's Road Runner
The Kermit Project (Kermit 95)
and many others who distribute ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll.


OK, but what about modifying the gcc Makefile so that it builds ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll?


I think there are two very different markets.  One is the cygwin
(unix on windows) environments which expect things to be named the
way they are on Unix/Linux.  The other is the native windows environment
which expects naming to be as it has been on Windows.  I think both
need to be supported therefore there should not be a name collision.
