Looking through makevms.com, I noticed this:
$ CONFIG_LOGICALS :=
NO_ASM,NO_RSA,NO_DSA,NO_DH,NO_MD2,NO_MD5,NO_RIPEMD,WHRLPOOL,-
NO_SHA,NO_SHA0,NO_SHA1,NO_DES/NO_MDC2;NO_MDC2,NO_RC2,NO_RC4,NO_RC5,-
NO_IDEA,NO_BF,NO_CAST,NO_CAMELLIA,NO_SEED,NO_HMAC,NO_SSL2
I suspect that one could adjust this to add VAX/non-VAX conditionality
for WHRLPOOL, although it might help to spell it "WHIRLPOOL", because
the code seems to be looking for "OPENSSL_NO_WHIRLPOOL", not
"OPENSSL_NO_WHRLPOOL".
Has anyone looked at this list in recent times to see if the items in
it still make sense?
