That depends on what Diego and Anders would say/report, and that is why
their address were on To/Cc in the message you are replying to.  Why did
you cull Cc from your message?

One thing I do not like about it is that the "fixup" is ugly.  It makes
people expect to add $(LIB_4_CRYPTO) on their linker command line to get a
correct linking with -lcrypto library, when all it does is _not_ to link
with -lcrypto at all, so whatever program that uses it needs to know about
NO_OPENSSL and refrain from using the symbols from that library.
