- I was afraid you'd say that... It defeats the whole point of
changing the names in the first place[1]. Oh well, I'll just have to
figure a way to install openssl without them. At least you tried to do
the right thing.

- BTW, the cpp macro trick works. I've used it in the kerberos code to
allow openssl compatiblity. Looks like I'll have to keep those
patches around.
