OpenSSL's MD5?

Hi,

the FreeBSD port of spamprobe 1.2a has a local patch [1] to make use of
OpenSSL's MD5 functions instead of using spamprobe's own implementation of
the algorithm. Since the update of the port to version 1.4 would involve
either making a new local patch or leave the code alone in the future, I
was wondering what the reason is for spamprobe using its own
implementation. OpenSSL should be available wherever spamprobe is used,
and by using its routines one wouldn't have to maintain another
implementation.

What do you think?

Happy new year,
Stefan
