[..or should this be in -arch?..] Okay, when you people are talking about replacing libmd with libcrypto, do you mean moving the additional functionality of libmd to libcrypto, or incorporating all the new and exciting functions into the OpenSSL source? If the former, that would be more or less easily achieved - as pointed out on -arch, libmd and libcrypto do seem to more or less share the basic hash routines, so adding the code would be a matter of moving the mdX* files from lib/libmd/ to secure/lib/libcrypto/ and adding them to the libcrypto build process. This would still benefit from what this commit is about - adding still more functionality to extend the OpenSSL libraries. If the latter, then hmm.. Not that I think that it would be too hard to convince the OpenSSL folks to add the libmd functions, but wouldn't that.. Actually, that would be a good idea from the standpoint of compatibility with other OS's and stuff.. But I still think that adding the libmd sources to the libcrypto build process could prove easier :) G'luck, Peter -- Hey, out there - is it *you* reading me, or is it someone else?
