Not necessarily. Unlike NO_STRTOULL and cousins,
COMMON_DIGEST_FOR_OPENSSL is not a Git build tweak; it is merely a
(public) implementation detail of the Apple header [1] to magically
associate OpenSSL digest functions with CommonCrypto counterparts.
It's not the only such macro recognized by the Apple headers. For
instance, COMMON_DIGEST_FOR_RFC_1321 magically associates legacy MD5
digest functions with CommonCrypto counterparts.

Further, as Junio noted elsewhere, David is using CommonCrypto for
HMAC replacements, not just for digest replacements, so a Makefile
knob with DIGEST in its name is not really appropriate. More
generally, David would like to find CommonCrypto replacements for all
the OpenSSL functionality, so a Makefile knob named after DIGEST is
too specific.

These considerations motivated the original suggestion for a single
Git Makefile knob to enable/disable, as a unit, all CommonCrypto
replacements. Such a knob would naturally have COMMON_CRYPTO as part
of its name.
