Why you don't use 7-Zip for compressing OpenSSL sources?
Just tar "openssl-0.9.8.tar" size 16 281 600 bytes

First of all, little size of openssl distribution -> speed up download
sources from server. I'm use modem and speed really matter for me.
Understood.
7zip and p7zip distributed under GNU GPL.
Understood.
7zip and p7zip not Window$-only app.
However, www.7zip.org looks very much like a Windows-only site.
Impressions matter.

looks like a windows-only app until the main web site
for 7zip pays more attention to Unix, and until it's on Linux desktops
by default.
