Did you benchmark this at all? I agree that keeping csup available
absent openssl is a good goal, but csup is a prototypical "tool that
does the same thing many thousands of times" so even tiny regressions
could add up to a large cost in wall clock time.

If the openssl version is faster, then conditionalizing where to get md5
is probably the right answer. If libmd is faster, then it's a net win. :)
