For 2.1, I suggest that you migrate away from OpenSSL.  Its license is
incompatible with the GNU GPL, and thus it is *technically* a license
violation if you distribute GPL'ed software for which you don't hold
copyright linked with OpenSSL.

However, this issue is long-standing, common, and well known in the
GNU/Linux distribution community, so I think it is ok to leave this
alone for the 2.0 release.
