Hello,

Installation of openssl-1.0.0e fails if SCRIPTS environment variable is defined 
(export SCRIPTS=/home/xxx/scripts for example).

making install in apps...
installing openssl
installing /home/xxx/scripts


In apps/Makefile, SCRIPTS is defined ("SCRIPTS=CA.sh CA.pl tsget"), but it 
seems that the makefile is called with -e option ("$(MAKE) -e"), which means 
that environment variables must override makefile local definitions.

Why is it necessary to call "$(MAKE) -e"?

It is a little bit risky to use such an option. SCRIPTS variable is a common 
name, and people may define it in their shell rc file.
