If I may redirect the discussion here, interesting as it is... I've got a refactoring of the build system in-hand, compatible with tools already in use. As much as folks may be in support of adopting a new build system entirely--which I agree, might be worthwhile--I'd like feedback on the work I've already done, not the work we might do one day with some completely different system.
Unless, that is, OpenSSL is ready to make the switch to a new build system *right now*, in which case there'd be no point to moving forward with adopting my changes. Somehow I don't see consensus on the adoption of a new system happening anytime soon. In the interim I'd appreciate it if the improvements I've made didn't stall on interminable discussion of unmaterialized alternatives.
