Nack.

Please add a warning in the configure script as well when using
libcrypto. No one EVER reads the BUILD.txt.

Have you tested whether functionality works with libcrypto at all? What
happens when cache_passwords = true? Do we store them plaintext or fail
entirely? Is it a graceful failure?

I'm honestly not sure there's a good reason to allow the use of
libcrypto at all at this point. I think we should consider disabling it
(not removing it) until and unless someone else decides to maintain it.
