openssl upgrade, libcrypto, libssl confusion

[Anton Shterenlikht]

In /usr/src/UPDATING I see

20120712:
        The OpenSSL has been upgraded to 1.0.1c.  Any binaries requiring
        libcrypto.so.6 or libssl.so.6 must be recompiled.  Also, there are
        configuration changes.  Make sure to merge /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.

Looking at this:

# make -C /usr/src check-old-libs
>>> Checking for old libraries
/lib/libcrypto.so.6
/usr/lib/libssl.so.6
# 

Am I correct that these 2 libraries can be safely deleted?

However, I can't see any version 7 of these libs.
Have these libs been replaced by some other lib?

Finally, I've rebuilt mail/fetchmail and mail/mutt
already several times, but the binaries still
use these 2 libs:

Or will the new library (what is it?) will not
be used unless I delete the old ones?

Thanks
