This is not included in most distributions, including Ubuntu.  
Specially in the version we need.

Ditto. When we started using it, no distro was shipping it.

These are not built in Linux, it's for the Windows build.

Does any distro ship these?

If the package is to be included in some distribution, they're free to  
patch the configure file and
simply use whatever they ship, of course. If it is really the case  
that they ship everything that's needed.

mysqldev@gui-srva-vm-ubu910i386:~$ apt-cache search yassl
mysqldev@gui-srva-vm-ubu910i386:~$ apt-cache search silvercity
mysqldev@gui-srva-vm-ubu910i386:~$ apt-cache search ctemplate
