No particular comment.  Adding ftp(1) support for c_rehash'd directories
was cheap, and I was thinking about proposing the addition of said
utility to the base system.  I've only needed it once or twice, yet it
bugged me not to have it at hand next to other openssl programs.

Before removing the references to c_rehash I'd like to know if other
people are interested in getting a trimmed down c_rehash utility in.
Else there is not much point in supporting ftp -S capath=... at all.

I think you're right about the HISTORY removal.
