I mean that someone who writes portable C code on FreeBSD 4.x and links it
to openssl by just using -lcrypto, relying on -lcrypto to pull in what
other platforms (and FreeBSD 3.x) has as -lRSAglue -lrsaref, will find
their code does not link on other platforms who use something closer to
the "stock" OpenSSL (Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, Win32, ...).
