My understanding of things is that OpenSSH doesn't care either way; the
RSA routines are all accessed through OpenSSL's libcrypto. The only check
OpenSSH's configure script makes is to see if librsaglue is installed,
which signals that OpenSSL was built with rsaref. OpenSSH reports this,
but except for that, has no use for the information.
