I concur.  I've been running with openssl changed this way for a
couple of weeks now, all happy.  I thought that I'd reported this
to the list, but perhaps not.

I'm still confused why the base libhx509.so doesn't have a
dependency reference to the crypto lib, but clearly that is
neither here nor there.  (Adding one did "fix" my compilation
problems, though.)

Cheers,
